Distributing binaries in macports

[Peng Yu]

Hi Chris,

> Still waiting for the transcript from a 'sudo port -v install <some-random-port>' ….

I just got some time to install another package. Here you go.

I assume that "Building ..." means compiling and linking. If that is
the case, I can see that some packages are directly installed from
binaries. But somes are not, for example, gnupg. Do I understand the
message correctly?

$ sudo port install pwman
