SYNOPSIS -------- [cmdsynopsis] *port* [*-vdqypotf*] [*-D* 'portdir'] *archivefetch* [['portname' | 'pseudo-portname' | 'port-expressions' | 'port-url']] [+/-variant ...] DESCRIPTION ----------- *port archivefetch* attempts to download a binary archive for the given port(s) from the configured binary sources, by default from 'packages.macports.org' and its mirrors. An archive or port image is a tarball containing the files of a port and some metadata and can be used to install a port without building it from source. See the *PORT IMAGES* section for a description of the port image concept in MacPorts. You can choose multiple variants, by specifying +name, which indicates the variant is desired, or -name, indicating the contrary. Global variants will be applied as specified in man:variants.conf[5]. include::archives.txt[] include::global-flags.txt[] *-p*:: Proceed even if a port fails to fetch. This is useful if you are trying to download all available binary images for a number of ports, e.g., if you want to install them later without a network connection.
