#51516: MacPorts should use a bundled copy of a newer libcurl rather than the OS X version --------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts Future Component: base | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | --------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by RJVB): I think there might be another solution, one that doesn't require a hard dependency on curl. If the curl function from Pextlib fails with an error that's likely to signal a TLS problem (and unlikely to have another cause), try again using the curl `command` (or wget). If that fails too and the command isn't found in ${prefix}/bin, instruct the user to install port:curl . That'd be a 1-time investment to upgrade the Tcl function calling Pextlib::curl, but no cyclic or otherwise problematic dependencies will be introduced, and users don't have to follow more complex instructions than necessary. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51516#comment:21> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
