Sure, we can download it from there at build time. The reason I didn't do it was because I thought that was an anti-pattern.
I just realized what you meant by this. Yes, downloading during the build phase is an antipattern. I’m recommending downloading it during the fetch phase as just another distfile. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/52376#comment:6> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for macOS
