You can do this manually whenever a new version of MacPorts base is released, either by downloading the installer from our web site and running it, or downloading he source and building it. You can subscribe to the macports-announce list to be informed when new versions are available. </div><div><br></div><div>Second, it updates your ports. You can do this via svn or http instead to avoid rsync issues on your network.
