Actually the first one is the binary package, the second is the detached signature file using the RIPEMD-160 algorithm. That is required to ensure this file was actually built by a of our buildbots. The detached signature file is only fetched if the download of a binary was successful. > Is this because only one of binary/non-binary ever exists at a packages site? > If not, how can I get a source package only when there is no binary? MacPorts will automatically build from source if no binary archive is available.
