---------------------------+--------------------
In order ro build universal binaries of on Big Sur/Apple m1, where some
ports are (very reasonably) not yet supporting +universal, I have set up
scripts (you can see them in https://sourceforge.net/p/reduce-
algebra/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/mac-universal/) that make both an Intel and
an ARM copy of macports that build their port tree in user filespace and
then use lips to consolidate. This is perhaps delicate and if I was more
patient I would wait until every port that I used built happily with
+universal. Anyway it is working quite nicely for me, however I believe I
observe that at least tetex-bin insists on putting some files in filespace
that needs sudo, specifically /Library/TeX/Distributions.
I cope with this by using sudo and can thus survive, but put it on record
here simce maybe oddities ought to be reported.
