So I was wondering why it seems "port install" is always end up building from source on my machine and came across this in archive_sites.conf:
> # prefix: The prefix of the MacPorts installation used to create the > # source's archives. This must match the value of "prefix" set in > # macports.conf, or the source is not used. Defaults to > # "/opt/local". > # > # applications_dir: The applications directory of the MacPorts > # installation used to create the source's archives. This must > # match the value of "applications_dir" set in macports.conf, or > # the source is not used. Defaults to "/Applications/MacPorts". > # > # frameworks_dir: The frameworks directory of the MacPorts > # installation used to create the source's archives. This must > # match the value of "frameworks_dir" set in macports.conf, or the > # source is not used. Defaults to "[prefix]/Library/Frameworks". Does that apply to the default source? I've changed "applications_dir" because I like my apps in /Applications - could that simple change result in effectively disabling port's ability to install from pre-built archives? Cheers, Lothar
