Hi,

I cannot use rsync because of our firewall. How do I set things up so that I can have an svn repository of the dports files and use macports? I am using MacPorts 1.5

Ultimately, I would like to be able to 'svn up' to get the latest portfiles and then be able to use 'port install foo' as usual.

I got things working somewhat.  I downloaded the portfiles using

svn co http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/ dports

and then sym-linked dports to

   /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports

I can now type

   port list

and things work.  Installing fails.  For example,

   sudo port install ghostscript

gives

Error: Unable to execute port: invalid command name "destroot.violate_mtree"

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Scott
