I was under the impression that I could selfupdate via http by

No, this only affects ports. Hence the word "ports" in the URL.
While the change to http (from rsync) allows me to update the port
descriptions, updating the base fails.
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at /SourceCache/rsync/
rsync-35.2/rsync/clientserver.c(105) [receiver=2.6.9]
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?
You can download the MacPorts 1.8.1 source via http from the
downloads area and compile it yourself. Or you can download the
1.8.1 disk image and install that; it will not adversely affect your
installed ports or settings.
Ryan, assuming I decide to download new version, where should the
sources be placed and how to I initiate the compilation ... if it is
more complicated than placing the tar-ball in the appropriate location
and issuing "sudo port selfupdate" or a similar simple command, just
say the word and I'll go with the diskimage.
Thanks
Ben
