-=== Step 1: '''Get your port's sourcecode''' ===
+=== Step 1: '''Set up a local repository''' ===
+
+If you want to make changes that stick and won't be overwritten by accident, you need to set up a local
+repository, described in full here: http://guide.macports.org/#development.local-repositories
+
+Do this to create a new Port (as root):
+{{{
+umask 022
+mkdir -p /usr/local/ports/
+cd /usr/local/ports
+cp -r `port dir arb` .
+mv arb arb-devel
+}}}
+
+Add this line before the 'rsync://.......' line in /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf, at the end of the file:
+{{{
+file:///usr/local/ports
+}}}
+
+Then run this command:
+{{{
+portindex   # Not working for me...?
+}}}
+
+=== Step 2: '''Get your port's sourcecode''' ===
 
 {{{
-port patch arb
-find /opt/local/var/macports -name 'arb*'
+port patch arb-devel
+cd `port work arb-devel`
 }}}
