Comment (by kencu):
Because it takes so long to build, in the end I just had a running clone
of the repo, all built. Then I would pull Cameron's changes, the build
system could figure out what needed to be rebuilt, and it would take
1/100th the time to build that way.
So I personally gave up (more or less) on the MacPorts' Portfile build, as
that was always a "from scratch" build, there are no buildbots for Tiger,
where I was building it, etc.
I also didn't get much enthusiasm for it, when I suggested it as a port 4
or 5 years back, and rightly enough, I guess.
Best of luck!
