What’s happening now is befuddling to me. Doing the step
echo rsync://build.openmodelica.org/macports/ >>
/opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf
as root (sudo su - ) seems to have worked, as
/opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf now ends with:
rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports.tar [default]
rsync://build-openmodelica.org/macports/
However, continuing as root, doing the step
port selfupdate
gives:
Error: Synchronization of the local ports tree failed doing rsync
Could there be some issue with MacPorts access to the openmodelica repository?
Using rsync is completely new to me, and I don’t even know how to find out
whether a particular source exists.
