My own repo of MacPorts (freezing distfiles)?

[Tabitha McNerney]

Hi all --

I was wondering -- if I wanted to have my own repository of MacPorts (e.g.,
if I want to freeze each port's version so that I can build ports systems on
many machines and they'll all have the same ports versions), can I do so by
simply by editing:

/opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf
>

and changing this line in sources.conf:

rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/
>

to my own rsync server?

And also changing:

/opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf
>

this line:

# Rsync server to fetch MacPorts sources from
>
rsync_server            rsync.macports.org
>

What if I wanted to place a bunch of "frozen" versioned distfiles on my
server but instead of running rsync, it was just subversion instead? How
does MacPorts currently bridge between the rsync protocol and svn?

Has anyone else done this type of thing before?

Thanks,

T.M.
