Central portindex'ing functional at the moment?

[Marko Käning]

Hi,

just now I ran a selfupdate and didn’t get notified of any outdated ports:
---
$ sudo port selfupdate && port outdated
Password:
--->  Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
MacPorts base version 2.3.5 installed,
MacPorts base version 2.3.5 downloaded.
--->  Updating the ports tree
--->  MacPorts base is already the latest version

The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you should run
  port upgrade outdated
No installed ports are outdated.

fine, but...


... as I have defined a local ports repo via a git clone in sources.conf:
---
file:///Users/marko/WC/GIT/MP/mkae-macports-ports [nosync]
rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports.tar [default]
---
I thought I update that as well by “git pull upstream master && portindex”.



After that change port suddenly gave me a list of outdated ports:
---
$ port installed outdated
The following ports are currently installed:
  curl @7.51.0_1+ssl (active)

Shouldn’t I have gotten those via “sudo port selfupdate” right from the start?




Does this mean, that selfupdate isn’t as up-to-date as a portindex’ed git clone?

I can’t imagine the latter, as the changes causing the above updates are days old
and rsync source’s portindex should be up-to-date.



What am I missing here? Or is MacPorts’ portindexing indeed not working ATM!!!???
