 All,

 I have cloned the entire macports portfile repo and make my own dev
 branch.  In my sources.conf I have specified to use my local repo yet when
 I upgrade a custom portfile for flac, port still looks to download a
 tarball.

 my portfile passed the port lint --nitpick

 The libs install without issue and have verified they work with ffmpeg.
