./port -d sync fails when using "file:" protocol

[joe.dipol@…]

Because I'm behind an http proxy I'm using svn and not rsync to synchronize. I added the following to sources.conf:

file://opt/local/var/macports/sources/svn.macports.org/trunk/dports/

But when I run sync it fails because it is using a bad path (note it is preceded with /opt/local/bin):

mac$ ./port -d sync
--->  Updating the ports tree
Synchronizing local ports tree from file://opt/local/var/macports/sources/svn.macports.org/trunk/dports/
couldn't change working directory to "/opt/local/bin/opt/local/var/macports/sources/svn.macports.org/trunk/dports": no such file or directory
Command failed: /opt/local/bin/portindex /opt/local/bin/opt/local/var/macports/sources/svn.macports.org/trunk/dports
Exit code: 1
Error: updating PortIndex for file://opt/local/var/macports/sources/svn.macports.org/trunk/dports/ failed

I think this is caused by an off by one error in macports.tcl:proc macports::getportdir

The following change seems to fix the problem:

set path [file normalize [string range $url [expr [string length $protocol] + 3] end]]

to

set path [file normalize [string range $url [expr [string length $protocol] + 2] end]]

You're missing a slash near the beginning of your URL. It needs to be:

file:///opt/local/var/macports/sources/svn.macports.org/trunk/dports/
