#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 cal@…): The problem with linking against a copy of OpenSSL in `$prefix` is that it will temporarily disappear while OpenSSL itself is upgraded, but that must not interrupt the upgrade process. Replying to [comment:10 ryandesign@…]:
Once we are properly mirroring distfiles before doing buildbot builds, that will probably be a sufficient fix. But it doesn't help old systems download from other sites that require https.
No matter what we do, that's a problem these platforms will always have, and will continue to do so. As I said, we cannot save abandoned platforms from dying. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51516#comment:11> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for the Mac operating system
