---------------------------+--------------------
 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.
