All mirrors have all of the port definitions; they just copy them from our primary public server. Also, rsync.macports.org is our primary public server, not a mirror.

Your output still does not show the portindex being fetched or generated, and I don't know why that would happen. In fact selfupdate appears to be exiting entirely, before printing the output that should always be printed at the end, as I showed before:

The question is, where is it exiting? Ok, it fetched ports.tar. Did it verify it? Did it extract it? Can you selfupdate again but use the -d flag instead of -v to get more detailed information?


Have you customized your sources.conf file? If so, what does it contain?


Has this ever worked? If so, when, and what changed since then?
