I did some initial work on making a daily tarball copy of the rsync (release) repo and made it available on www.macports.org. Be warned, its only lightly tested, but its also not very invasive. Please test it out and expand the HOWTO or file tickets against server/hosting if you find a problem. The tarball updates daily in the afternoon (PDT), but the exact time is subject to change.

I added support for fetching the daily snapshot tarball directly with 'port sync' in trunk in r35647/r35648. If you are using trunk, just add the following line to your sources.conf instead of rsync: http://macports.org/files/ports.tar.gz Rainer
