To use/test the port out of the official macports tree:
- Edit sources.conf /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf, and insert a URL
pointing to your local repository before the rsync one:
file:///Users/dockes/projets/fulltext/recoll/packaging/macports
rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports [default]
(inserting before ensures it's used before the macports one)
- The port should live under category/portname (ie: textproc/
- After you create or update your Portfile, use the MacPorts portindex
command in the local repository's directory to create or update the index
of the ports in your local repository.
%% cd ~/path/to/macports
%% portindex
Once the local port is added to the PortIndex, it becomes available for
searching or installation as with any other Portfile in the MacPorts
tree
