    33It's a good idea to start out with the [http://guide.macports.org/#development Portfile Development] section of the MacPorts Guide.  There's a line-by-line explanation in [http://guide.macports.org/#development.creating-portfile Section 4.2] that will help you.
    44== Portindex ==
    5 Once you've created your portfile, it's best to test it with your copy of MacPorts.  The first step is to [http://guide.macports.org/#development.local-repositories create a local repository] to test your portfile. I suggest creating a directory named {{{ports}}} in your home directory.   Inside this new directory, you should run {{{portindex}}} which will create the repository index of everything contained therein.  '''Note:''' This command should be run everytime you make changes as it will include the new index data for MacPorts. Also watch out for any errors it reports, which stopp the portfile from showing up in MacPorts.

    66== Port Info ==
    77Once you have a repository setup and indexed, you can then instruct MacPorts to include the repository's path in {{{${prefix}/etc/macports/sources.conf}}} — the order of this file's content is important as ports are loaded in a first-come-first-serve basis.  To test if your port index is being included, run {{{port info portname}}} where ''portname'' is a port you've placed in your local repository.  If everything works well, you'll notice information appearing from your local repository's portfile.  '''Note:''' If you have a port named the same as an existing one, this will report that there are two copies found with the first it came across being displaying.  This is why the order of repositories listed in {{{sources.conf}}} matters.
