Re: my first port - how to

In two words, you just edit sources.conf and use the 'portindex' command in the right place.

Most configuration files are in ${prefix}/etc/ports/. For information about ~/.portsrc, have a look at 'man ports.conf'

I found sources.conf, but would have found it useful if it indicated that I could have both a file:// AND rsync:// line. It has no indication that I can have more than one uncommented line. That would be a nice addition to the default sources.conf file, also with a line that says what overrides what (does the first line override the second or vice versa). Thank you for the pointer to man ports.conf. JDO
