OpenModelica?

[Murray Eisenberg]

What’s happening now is befuddling to me. Doing the step 

   echo rsync://build.openmodelica.org/macports/ >> /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf

as root (sudo su - ) seems to have worked, as /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf now ends with:

   rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports.tar [default]
   rsync://build-openmodelica.org/macports/

However, continuing as root, doing the step  

    port selfupdate

gives:

    Error: Synchronization of the local ports tree failed doing rsync

Could there be some issue with MacPorts access to the openmodelica repository?

Using rsync is completely new to me, and I don’t even know how to find out whether a particular source exists.
