In my case, it's not that I *prefer* building from source, but that for at least one quarter, there were no binary packages available, at least for 32- bit. pkg_rolling-replace takes over a week, and I have to restart it when it conks out on a package, often because of the Python version. I'd much rather use pkgin. Pierre -- Jews use a lunisolar calendar; Muslims use a solely lunar calendar.
