How can I configure MacPorts to use some other method [than rsync].
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
Thanks for the info, it was very helpful and I am now further along
in this
process. Unfortunately, the install and quickstart instructions are
telling
me to do things that are erroring.
Info: dports is copied to: /opt/local/dport
Here is what happens when I try...
$ sudo port -d selfupdate
DEBUG: Rebuilding the MacPorts base system if needed.

Clearly self update is using rsync - I guess this just won't work
without
rsync?
Correct. "selfupdate" uses rsync to get the latest MacPorts source
code. If you already have MacPorts 1.5, you already have the latest,
so you do not need to use "selfupdate". You can use "sync" instead.
When MacPorts 1.5.1 comes out we'll have to see what we do then.
$ sudo port search mysql
Warning: Can't open index file for source: file:///opt/local/dports
Error: search for portname mysql failed: No index(es) found! Have
you
synced your source indexes?
I guess I need to grab more than just the dports repository? Where
can I
find out this information?
No, there's nothing else you need. The indexes it's talking about are
the file "PortIndex" which should be directly inside that directory.
Maybe this will clear up after a "sync".
