<p>Greetings:</p>
<p>I have 2 macOS systems on ARM64. There are some Ports I'm able to
build on System A that I cannot on System B. I would like to
transfer the build from A to B. This doesn't happen often and is
only for a few Ports. So, setting up a binary mirror and all of
that is significantly more work than I'd like to do. One thing
that <i><b>appeared</b></i> to work, e.g., for Port "librsvg",
was the following:</p>
<p># System A<br>
sudo port install librsvg<br>
cd
/opt/local/var/macports/software/librsvg/librsvg-2.58.5_0.darwin_24.arm64<br>
sudo tar cjf /path/to/librsvg-2.58.5_0.darwin_24.arm64.tbz2 ./<br>
scp /path/to/librsvg-2.58.5_0.darwin_24.arm64.tbz2 SystemB:~/</p>
<p># System B<br>
cd /opt/local/var/macports/incoming/verified<br>
sudo cp ~/librsvg-2.58.5_0.darwin_24.arm64.tbz2<br>
sudo port install librsvg</p>
<p>Is this the best way of doing it on an ad-hoc basis? All of the
instructions I found online for creating a "*.tbz2" bundle seem to
only work if the Port hasn't been installed already, i.e., I
couldn't find instructions on how to create it from an already
built Port. Thank you for any guidance you can provide.<br>
</p>
