Being close has nothing to do with it. If the archive is on p.m.o then it will never give up until it downloads it (or exhausts the entire list if p.m.o becomes unreachable after it starts). >> sudo port archivefetch outdated && sudo port fetch outdated > > That will fail on the first port without an archive, wouldn't it?

The giving up isn't usually a problem because it only does that if the archive is not available on packages.macports.org. And actually, I forgot before that archivefetch does adjust the statefile if it fetches an archive. So this should do the trick to fetch everything you need to do an upgrade offline: sudo port archivefetch outdated && sudo port fetch outdated (the fetch will be a noop for ports that have an archive available). - Josh ___ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev

Hi, > Unfortunately there's no easy way to say "fetch the archives for the > ports that have them, and the distfiles for those that don't." You can use $> sudo port -bp archivefetch $portlist to get all the binary archives available and ignore those that aren't. This is one of the few places where `-p` is not harmful. Adding `-b` might help in this case because it doesn't give up after three servers that don't have the binary archive. -- Clemens Lang ___ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev

No. There isn't meant to be any practical difference in the archive you end up with either way. And technically, all ports are built from source and then installed from the resulting binary, just not necessarily on the same machine. - Josh ___ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev

The command for this is "archivefetch". As in "port archivefetch ".
