Comment (by gdt):

 pkgsrc has nothing to do with tahoe building binary eggs.  All of tahoe's
 dependencies exist as pkgsrc packages, and are built as part of pkgsrc
 bulk builds for multiple platforms.   So if someone wants binary eggs,
 pkgsrc isn't a reason to stop doing so.   But if the real goal is
 "prebuilt packages exist for users", pkgsrc meets it, more or less.

 I am unclear about builds for Oracle Solaris.  The active solaris pkgsrc
 people seem to be with Joyent, which focuses on SmartOS.   But it's highly
 likely that building pkgsrc for Solaris will work almost as well, and I'd
 be surprised if the tahoe packages had issues.
