Comment (by TheButterZone):

 Oh, one more thing on the subject of binaries vs source builds. When I was
 prompting one of the LLMs about my first complex app, early on, it
 suggested preparing a Homebrew package once development progressed far
 enough. I said no, Homebrew isn't compatible with my computer, MacPorts
 is.

 When I circled back to the topic, wondering if it was time for MacPorts
 packaging, it said since my app doesn't have dependencies, there wouldn't
 be much point as MacPorts would be a glorified download manager & I should
 stick to GitHub releases (part of which is the GitHub Action that compiles
 a universal Mac binary).

 I bring this up not to trash MacPorts (since I do like it more than not),
 but because I wonder: how many ports are source-only & destined to fail
 for people who set binaries only? If I could find the enhancement ticket,
 I would ask this there.
