Thanks, I have subversion 1.4 installed and had no problem checking out the tree.
Would the following amended instructions work?
1. Checkout ports tree and place in standard MacPorts location: cd /opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/ svn co http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports \ rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports
2. Manually update as needed: cd /opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/ rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate svn up
Seems like it would work, do you see any problems with doing it this way?
That should work fine, but you might want to be careful against a selfupdate (updating the MacPorts base). If rsync were to overwrite that directly, you would be disappointed. I would recommend leaving / opt/local/var/db/dports/sources/rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate for rsync only, if for no other reason than to avoid any possible conflict. Chris
