 I have macports installed on multiple computers. 2 computers have write
 access to the binary archive path, so I can prebuild packages that I'm
 installing multiple times. However; on occasion I have a package I might
 only want to install on one computer and don't want to hassle with
 building it for the binary archive. When I try to install it on the
 computer with read-only access to the archive, it gives up when it can't
 write the archive. What would be the better option would be to continue
 and give a warning when it can't write the archive.
