I'm looking to use & build ports offline, without any direct internet access.
Is this possible?
I've got a recent install of MacPorts via the v2.4.2 disk image.
I've got a copy of ports.tar.
I've got an rsync'ed set of distfiles obtained on an online system that I've
copied to the MacBook that won't have access to the internet.
I've got the command-line development tools.
Eventually, I'll have a copy of Xcode.
What sort of config do I need?
This is the last line of sources.conf:
file:///Users/chrjep2/share/macports/ports.tar [default] [nosync]
When I try a simple test like:
sudo port version
I get this:
Warning: /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf specifies invalid source
'file:///Users/chrjep2/share/macports/ports.tar [default] [nosync]', ignored.
No sources defined in /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf
while executing "mportinit ui_options global_options
global_variations"
Error: /opt/local/bin/port: Failed to initialize MacPorts, No sources
defined in /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf
FWIW, the tarball seems OK:
nickel% sudo tar tvf /Users/chrjep2/share/macports/ports.tar | head

Any and all help much appreciated.
