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.
1. Check out a working copy of the ports tree to some place on your
hard disk, such as to your home directory:
svn co http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports ~/dports
2. Edit the file /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf. Comment out
the line starting with "rsync://" and add a new line pointing to your
working copy, in URL form, e.g.:
file:///Users/rschmidt/dports
on top of that, some ports may want to use rsync instead of http to
download their sources
I don't think so. Ports can fetch software via a normal curl-
accessible URL (http, https, ftp), or by checking out from a CVS or
Subversion repository, but those are the only options I'm aware of.
Searching portfetch.tcl reveals no occurrences of the string "rsync"
so I don't think there's any way that a port could be fetching
anything via rsync.
