I am trying to use MacPorts inside our corporate infrastructure. And IT security is somewhat strict - very few network ports are open, so I can forget about using rsync's port (or SMB or AFP, etc). We do have access to http and ftp ports through the firewall.
If subversion uses a different port (I don't know) than I probably can't use that either.
subversion can use the http port, or an other (following the svn protocol, i suppose, i don't know it) it depends of the server for MacPorts it is the http port :-) svn co http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/tags/release_1_5_0/base/ macports/
How can I configure MacPorts to use some other method.
And NO, I can't get IT to open the network port (I don't know why I always get this question).
just the next question : why ?? because, really, rsync is a well-known protocol, so it's curious that firewalls block it ! (in fact, what's the interest for a firewalls to block not well-known protocols ? since a hacker will be able to use the few open ports to communicate ...) on top of that, some ports may want to use rsync instead of http to download their sources -- Mon CV : http://tDeContes.hd.free.fr/divers/emploi/
