The MacPorts project is pleased to announce that prebuilt archives for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion are now available for many ports, and will be used automatically when installing. A prebuilt archive cannot always be used, for a number of reasons: * Our archives are built only for the default prefix (/opt/local), so if MacPorts is installed in a custom prefix, it will not download them. This also applies to applications_dir (/Applications/MacPorts) and frameworks_dir (${prefix}/Library/Frameworks). * We only build archives for the default variants of each port. * Many ports do not yet list license information. * Some ports have a license that does not allow for distribution of binaries, or have a license that conflicts with the license of a dependency in a way that prevents such distribution. - Josh
