Hello,

I'm buying a new computer while travelling and would like to install MacPorts 
on it. Because internet connections in hotels are usually unreliable, I would 
like to know if I can take the ports on my current Mac through an external 
drive. I don't need to precompile them because time / space is not a 
constraint, only internet connection, so what I was thinking of doing is 
copying my distfiles from /opt/var/macports/distfiles/ and just pasting them in 
this directory in the new computer. I then just sudo port install them all and 
hopefully the fetch phase will be skipped and the ports will be installed just 
as it would if I had downloaded them.

Is my thinking correct? Would this work?

Thank you very much,

João Pedro
