    initial v7  
    11== Motivation ==

    3 I just submitted a new port `libfilezilla`. Builds on Travis CI timed out after 48 minutes [1] while on buildbot it takes about 8 minutes only [2]. I believe what @raimue said [3] - time to build non-redistributable dependencies - is the key difference. I hope we can have a caching mechanism so that newcomers can know if their patches are OK or not quickly, and maintainers can spend less time on testing patches manually.

    7 Travis CI provides a simple caching mechannism [4]. If built packages under $PREFIX/var/macports/software are cached, there's no need to rebuild them every time.

    99Cached data are only accessible to Travis CI builders. There are no URLs to cached files in build logs. I guess it's not a "redistribution" as other people can't access them. Thus there are no licensing issues.
