    38 MacPorts itself (i.e. the port command) is universal when installed from the MacPorts installation disk image.

    40 TODO: Does it remain universal after you've gone through a selfupdate ? This would be a problem if you had done a selfupdate on the Intel Mac (and that selfupdate resulted in MacPorts base being rebuilt) and you still wanted to use the port command on the PowerPC Mac after you had copied the Intel Mac's MacPorts installation to it.
     38MacPorts itself (i.e. the port command) is universal when installed from the MacPorts installation disk image. It is not universal after doing a selfupdate, which means that rsyncing the entire /opt/local directory may present some problems when attempting to use the port command on the "mirror" mac.

    44 The '''Building Macports universally''' section raises the question of whether MacPorts is still universal after a selfupdate. This should be resolved for this HowTo to be complete.
     42The '''Building Macports universally''' section raises the problem of building MacPorts itself universally. Solutions to this problem are being discussed: [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2008-May/010287.html].
