I was under the impression that I could selfupdate via http by
changing my sources.conf as seen below.
$ cat /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf
# MacPorts system wide sources configuration file
# $Id: sources.conf 42662 2008-11-28 23:18:50Z [email protected] $
# To setup a local ports repository, insert a "file://" entry
following
# the example below that points to your local ports directory:
# Example: file:///Users/landonf/misc/MacPorts/ports
# The default MacPorts repository should always be tagged [default]
# for proper functionality of various resources (port groups, mirror
# sites, etc). If you switch it from the rsync:// URL, be sure to
keep
# it tagged [default].
# To prevent a source from synchronizing when `port sync` is used,
# append [nosync] at the end as shown in this example:
# Example: file:///Users/landonf/misc/MacPorts/ports [nosync]
# NOTE: The port command parses source URLs in order and installs the
# first occurrance when a port appears in multiple
repositories.
# So keep "file://" URLs above other URL types.
# To get the ports tree from the master MacPorts server in
California, USA use:
# rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/
# To get it from the mirror in Trondheim, Norway use:
# rsync://trd.no.rsync.macports.org/release/ports/
# A current list of mirrors is available at
http://trac.macports.org/wiki/Mirrors
# rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/ [default]
http://www.macports.org/files/ports.tar.gz [default]
While the change to http (from rsync) allows me to update the port
descriptions, updating the base fails.

As my corporate firewall has the ports for both rsync an cvs closed,
is there a way for me to keep my macports up to date?

Ben
