We haven't announced it yet, but you might have noticed talk about it on the -dev list. > Looks like - since buildbot made his way through all port files - it is > possible to install binary packages, is that true? > > If so, how could that be enable in a local MacPorts installation? In fact there's no way to globally turn it off. MacPorts will use binaries if they're available, unless you use the "-s" switch for a particular install. > (From what I see all my installations still configure and build all their > ports themselves) Binaries are available for some ports' default variants for Snow Leopard for x86_64. If you have i386, or want universal, or have Leopard or Tiger, or want a non-default variant, you'll still build from source. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
