rsync-Problem

[sboeser@…]

After getting the new 1.5 release, I am trying to update the database. However, rsync fails:

mycomputer:~>sudo port -d sync      
DEBUG: Synchronizing ports tree(s)
Synchronizing from rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/
DEBUG: /usr/bin/rsync -rtzv --delete-after rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/ /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports
rsync: failed to connect to rsync.macports.org: Operation timed out (60)

DEBUG: sync failed doing rsync

port sync failed: sync failed doing rsync

Thanks, Sebastian

Are you still having problems running port sync, or has it proven to be a transient network problem? It might also be worthwhile to double-check that you haven't just installed or changed any firewall or port filtering software so that it blocks port 873 (the one used by rsync).

Our rsync server is up and running without problems:

$[juan @macbookpro: trunk](724/0,0) -> rsync rsync.macports.org::
release         MacPorts rsync release repository, providing the current MacPorts "released" sources and the ports tree.
trunk           MacPorts rsync "trunk" repository, providing experimental MacPorts sources in svn's trunk/base.
dpupdate        Legacy MacPorts rsync repository for backwards compatibility with 1.4.x releases, providing svn's trunk/base and the ports tree.
dpupdate1       Legacy MacPorts rsync repository for backwards compatibility with 1.4.x releases, providing the current MacPorts "released" sources.

So this must be a user-side network problem. Closing ticket as invalid.
