Description
Hello,
I've hacked binhost support into MacPorts. Packages, when portarchivemode set in the configuration, will be downloaded from portarchivebinhost if not present in the portarchivepath.
The code works like this:
- check if package is available in portarchivepath (normal macports behavior)
- if not, check if package is available in the portarchivebinhost and download it to portarchivepath
- continue normal behavior

I haven't looked at the patches, but is the intent for this ticket the same as in ticket #8571?

It's basically the same intent (and approach) as in the patch I submitted (great minds really do think alike).
Of course, it will suffer from the same problems (poor interaction with upgrade, mainly). This could be worked around by making changes to the portarchive phase, but it is probably cleaner to add a 'remote fetch' phase instead.
We probably also want to have some sort of package checksum or verification (gpg signing?) when downloading the remote package.
... and finally, there are some issues with cross-system packages (everything pretty much works if you have the same version of Mac OS X on both machines, but you can have unexpected failures otherwise), so we probably should at least think about handling that in some way.
