It's been a long time since I've used the package installer. What's wrong? What other options are there for installing ports to build some of the networking software that I need?

The 1.6.0 disk image installer packages try to run "port sync" after installation, to update the ports tree. If this fails, the message you encountered is printed.

Is the rsync port blocked on your network? If so, unblock it if possible.


Our corporate parent has imposed some draconian security measures on its subsidiaries. What ports and IP addresses are involved to maintain the Mac Ports environment?

What is the difference between "port sync" and "port -d selfupdate" in terms ports and IP addresses?
