I'm about to replace my hard drive with a newer one and reinstall jaguar 10.2.1. I was wondering if there was a way to preserve the packages I have compiled so when I have the new system up, I can reinstall the packages without having to download and/or re-compile. Can I copy the whole /sw directory?You can copy the the /sw/ directory, plus /usr/X11R6, /etc/X11 and /Applications/XDarwin.app. Then you don't have to install the packages at all. Just make sure that you use a copying method that preserves symbolic links.
There are, however, a couple of packages doing things outside of /sw/ in their postinstallation scripts that would need to be reinstalled. From the top of my head I would mention passwd and daemonic and everything that uses daemonic. But there may be others.
