Agreed.
it already builds binary packages and prefers them over
building from source when they exist: just have a look
in /opt/local/var/macports/packages/$system/$arch. And we even don't
need a new option for specifying if we want to install from source or
from binary, the switch already exists (-b).
I thought an additional problem was that software installed from a
binary does not get registered in the registry.
The port dmg approach sounds attractive for binary distribution.
Absent a macports build farm what would be the process for submitting
binaries?
