Why doesn't macports install prebuild packages?

2009-11-25 Thread Benjamin Dahl - p...@bennyd.de

What is the best way to be kept up to date on port updates? I'm thinking add myself to the ticket, but that may change or new tickets are made. I could run livecheck on a schedule and email myself the results. Suggested hackish methods for arbitrary notifications? I don't want them all,

Hello, Wouldn't the problem be how many different packages would be on hand for different systems and how long each of the packages would need to be maintained? On Nov 25, 2009, at 2:22 AM, Ryan Schmidt wrote: On Nov 25, 2009, at 04:09, Benjamin Dahl wrote: I'm using macports for a
