I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

* [PATCH v12a 3/3] ci: macports improvements

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

* [PATCH v12a 3/3] ci: macports improvements

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

* [PATCH v12a 3/3] ci: macports improvements

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.

* [PATCH v12a 3/3] ci: macports improvements

I realized two things:

1) We should save the macports cache before building & running tests, we don't
   want to again start from scratch if the task failed or was cancelled

2) We should use a partial cache match, as it's much faster to start from
   that, than from scratch.

This requires some additional complexity, we now need an explicit restore step
and need to check if the install step succeeded. But it's a very substantial
improvement in runtime, so it's worthwhile.
