 Replying to [comment:1 afb@…]:
 > See http://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto for alternative means like
 tarball or subversion
 It works fine, thanks. I uploaded a script to do the selfupdate by the
 daily tarball. May I suggest a direct link for the svn method from the
 main help page?

 > Have you tried setting the RSYNC_PROXY environment variable? (See the
 rsync man page for details.) Note that if you're using 10.5 you'll
 probably need to edit /etc/sudoers to stop it being purged by sudo. See
 related ticket #13158.

 I am now working with svn, I will try that too. Thanks.
