The latest development version of the MacPorts code, which may not

There is no URL which always points to the latest stable released
version. The latest right now is:
http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/tags/release_1_5_0/base/
You don't really need to get the code from out repository though.
Just download and install the disk image as above. Though you can
certainly build it from source if you prefer that, for some reason.
Users wanting to stay on the bleeding edge of development can either
update trunk/base from svn and do the ./configure && make dance
(which we would assume they know how to if they want to stay on top
of development), or use rsync if they don't care about svn (a
developer...? ;-).
As for selfupdate, the default is to upgrade to the released code,
release/base/ in rsync_dir (macports.conf). But you can also
selfudpate to trunk/base by setting rsync_dir to, namely, trunk/base.
Do note that if you choose this approach you'll always have to force
the rebuild (-f), as selfupdate works by comparing version numbers
and we're simply not upgrading the version number in trunk/base every
time a commit takes place. But then again, we'd expect you to know
about this sort of things if you are bold enough to use development
sources ;-)
