Best practice for port contributors in github world

[Luc Bourhis]

Hi,

I was considering to only fork macports-ports so that I can use pull requests for ports, without having to build macports core from source. But then what is the best way to configure macports on my system? Shall I replace the line

rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports.tar [default]

in sources.conf with

file://path/to/my/clone/of/macports-ports [default]

or is there a better alternative?

Best wishes,

Luc J. Bourhis
