I don't see how your suggestion could be correct. The documentation is correct as written. sources.conf must point to the place where your ports tree is, such as a clone of macports-ports. It makes no sense to point it at a clone of macports-base.

    10 This step is useful if you want to do port development. Check out the ports tree from git:
     31`file:///opt/mports/macports-ports [default]` is wrong because the line up have been changed, I suppose.
     32The right content for this /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf is, at the end of the file:
     33`file:///opt/mports/macports-base/ [default]`

    12 $ cd /opt/mports
    13 $ git clone https://github.com/macports/macports-ports.git
    14 Then open /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf in a text editor. The last line should look like this:
    15 
    16 rsync://rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/ports.tar [default]
    17 Change it to point to the working copy you checked out:
    18 
    19 file:///opt/mports/macports-ports [default]
    20 Now MacPorts will look for portfiles in the working copy and use Git instead of rsync to update your ports tree.

    27 macports-base is good, macports-ports was wrong for me.
     35`macports-base` is good, `macports-ports` was wrong for me.
