port selfupdate failed: Couldn't sync the ports tree: Synchronization of 1 source failed

[nalzok (Qingyao Sun)]

I encountered the following error when doing sudo port selfupdate. This issue has persisted for over 36 hours, so I'm opening a ticket.

I attempted accessing https://source.atlas.engineer/public/macports-port/ from my browser, but that domain name doesn't even seem to exist. Moreover, curl source.atlas.engineer gives curl: (6) Could not resolve host: source.atlas.engineer. Is it just me?

source.atlas.engineer is not a hostname we control, nor is it used in the default MacPorts configuration. You appear to have a local source configured in sources.conf that is a git repo configured to pull from that host. If you intended to do that, you need to talk to whoever runs source.atlas.engineer about why it is down. If not, I guess you need to talk to whoever configured your MacPorts installation that way.

I see. It turns out that I have a local configuration from ​https://github.com/atlas-engineer/ports, so there isn't a problem with MacPorts' infrastructure. Thanks for your reply.
