I cannot remember having had to wait for the git port to build, for instance - it's completely gone from the mirrors. And it isn't even (L)GPL-3 licensed, so what's the reason for imposing a build-from-source for this port?

You can run the port_binary_distributable.tcl script to find out whether a port is distributable, or if not, why not:


$ ~/macports/base/portmgr/jobs/port_binary_distributable.tcl -v git
"git" is not distributable because its license "gpl" conflicts with license "OpenSSL" of dependency "openssl"
