Hi FritzS,
I am another MacPorts user; I am not not aware of a way to allow only specific
mirrors to be used while excluding all others.
The closest thing I am aware of is the host_blacklist and preferred_hosts
options in macports.conf. You can set preferred_hosts to the mirrors you
prefer, and set host_blacklist to any mirrors that you would like to avoid.
This may not be exactly what you’re looking for, though, as it would be
impractical to block every “fallback” mirror already specified in Portfiles
that are used in the event the MacPorts mirrors are unavailable or do not have
a needed file.
If you truly need MacPorts to never use any other mirrors than ones specified,
then you might open a ticket requesting such a feature be added, e.g. some
only_use_preferred_hosts option added to macports.conf.
Hope this helps
