    1 Do not rely on [https://packages.macports.org] for determining whether a port can build; that site is only for prebuilt archives of ports which allow binary redistribution. Even if sphinx4 can build, MacPorts likely will not offer a prebuilt package for it since there is currently no license specified in its Portfile, and so no way for MacPorts to be certain binary redistribution is allowed.

    33If you want to check whether a port is known to build, please use [https://ports.macports.org]; in the case of sphinx4 this is mostly unknown because almost no builds of the port have been requested since the launch of [https://ports.macports.org] a few years ago.
