Since archives are not uploaded to the packages server until the entire set of ports has been built, building smaller sets of ports will let some packages become available sooner.

this seems like a reasonable workaround, but it might be nice if we could make building 'all' ports work (and maybe also set things up to upload archives as they become available?)
