The correct one, typo in mail.

That was it. It was on the manual page for local repositories, but this directory tree was created using git via https://trac.macports.org/wiki/WorkingWithGit <https://trac.macports.org/wiki/WorkingWithGit> where portindex is not mentioned and I was following instructions there when I created the ‘dev’ tree.

I ran portindex. Since I created a git clone there, that resulted in

Total number of ports parsed:	21661 
Ports successfully parsed:	21661 
Ports failed:			0 
Up-to-date ports skipped:	0

And all the ports are now the ones in my git clone. That is not what I want. Preferably, I would want all the ports to be the default ones, except for the ones I’m working on myself. Is that possible? And how do I get there from the situation I’m in now?

My guess would be:
- re-run portindex in the official tree /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/ports
- run portindex in de nsd and unbound subdirectories of /Users/sysbh/MacPortsDev/macports-port

Correct?
