#54056: MacPorts should warn when not using "macports" rsync module
------------------------+-------------------

------------------------+-------------------
MacPorts currently prints this warning:
{{{
Warning: MacPorts is configured to use an unsigned source for the ports
tree. Please edit sources.conf and change
'rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/' to
'rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports.tar'.
}}}
This advice is not optimal: the user should be advised to change it to
"rsync:// rsync.macports.org/'''macports/'''release/tarballs/ports.tar".
In addition to warning when not using a tarball, as was already done in
[bebd94ad0415b859b37a9887dfae102b45e70590/macports-base], we should warn
when not using the "macports" rsync module. (Using the old standalone
"release" and "trunk" modules is deprecated; our new rsync server provider
would like for us to wean users off of those old modules so that they can
eventually remove them.)
We currently issue this warning for all *rsync.macports.org hostnames, but
not all of our mirrors use the same rsync module naming convention which
complicates things. Ideally we would ask our mirror providers to change
their setup to match ours. But until that happens, maybe we can only issue
the rsync module name warning when using the official rsync.macports.org
server and not when using a mirror.
