I would do this - (if you had done it back when you suggested it, you would probably be already done and not having to think about this anymore by now). >>> Especially, since a good number of ports end up building from source >>> instead of binaries. But, it could be that the reason for this is that >>> they ended up being +universal, so they were not available on the buildbots. if you just deactivate everything - anything that already built (or you got a binary for) will be fast to reinstall (assuming the variants match). if you really wanted to, you could also set up your own binary archive (https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/ShareArchives2) -- Daniel J.
