MacPorts: Update port definitions and upgrade installed ports

Once in a while is good to update your software to get advantage of the latest bug fixes and new features. This is very easy to do with MacPorts:

$ sudo port selfupdate
$ sudo port upgrade outdated

You can then remove all the non active ports:

$ sudo port uninstall inactive

And clean all the files used to build the ports:

$ sudo port clean --all all
