 Dear Macports,

 I have a MAC with the latest Maverick installed.  I installed Macports
 according to https://www.ghostwheel.com/merlin/Personal/notes/2013/10/05
 /macports-on-mavericks/

 I think the problem is that I do not know how to do point 8 (Re-install
 your ports.) after the installation.

 When I run: sudo port -v selfupdate

 I get the following error:

 {{{
 Gerts-iMac-2:~ gertkruger$ sudo port -v selfupdate
 Password:
 --->  Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
 rsync: failed to connect to rsync.macports.org: Operation timed out (60)

 rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/base.tar
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs
 Exit code: 10
 Error: Error synchronizing MacPorts sources: command execution failed

Comment:

 For some reason, MacPorts was unable to communicate with our rsync server.

 Has this ever worked before?

 Some networks restrict access to "unusual" ports, which for some network
 administrators may include the rsync port. If that's the case for your
 network, talk to your network administrator about allowing rsync traffic.
