Description (last modified by bjdebus (Bert Debusschere))
I followed the instructions on https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/SyncingWithGit to set up my macports to sync via git. The "sudo port -v sync" command is successful, and downloads packages locally. But when I try a selfupdate, I get the following:
BUHO:/opt/local/etc/macports[93]% sudo port selfupdate ---> Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
which times out as I am behind a proxy server. It never looks for packages in the folder I specified in my sources.conf file.
I am running this on MacOS X Monterey version 12.5 on a Macbook Pro
I attached my sources.conf file.
Thanks! Bert

Selfupdate updates MacPorts itself; it has nothing to do with fetching packages and is not affected by sources.conf (the selfupdate settings are in macports.conf). If you can't use rsync, you can't currently selfupdate, and will need to use port sync to update the ports tree and install new MacPorts versions either from the .pkg or manually from source.
