... How can I configure MacPorts to use some other method [than rsync].
1. Check out a working copy of the ports tree to some place on your hard disk, such as to your home directory:
svn co http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports ~/dports
2. Edit the file /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf. Comment out the line starting with "rsync://" and add a new line pointing to your working copy, in URL form, e.g.:
file:///Users/rschmidt/dports
Ryan, Thanks for the info, it was very helpful and I am now further along in this process. Unfortunately, the install and quickstart instructions are telling me to do things that are erroring. Info: dports is copied to: /opt/local/dport Here is what happens when I try... $ sudo port -d selfupdate DEBUG: Rebuilding the MacPorts base system if needed. DEBUG: Synchronizing ports tree(s) Synchronizing from file:///opt/local/dports DEBUG: MacPorts base dir: /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/base DEBUG: Setting user: root MacPorts base version 1.5 installed DEBUG: Updating using rsync rsync: failed to connect to rsync.macports.org: Operation timed out (60) rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at /SourceCache/rsync/rsync-24/rsync/clientserver.c(94) DEBUG: Error: rsync failed in selfupdate while executing "macports::selfupdate [array get global_options]" Error: /opt/local/bin/port: selfupdate failed: Error: rsync failed in selfupdate Clearly self update is using rsync - I guess this just won't work without rsync? $ sudo port search mysql Warning: Can't open index file for source: file:///opt/local/dports Error: search for portname mysql failed: No index(es) found! Have you synced your source indexes? I guess I need to grab more than just the dports repository? Where can I find out this information?
