#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@…): Replying to [comment:13 ryandesign@…]:
I don't understand why you would say that. The problem right now is caused by older systems have an old SSL implementation. The proposed fix is to provide a newer SSL implementation in MacPorts. That fixes the problem.
Yes, that fixes the problem ''in MacPorts'', but users on these platforms will continue to experience the same problems with other services that use TLS. So we can't fix the problem completely, but would still bundle an SSL library on platforms that already ship one that's perfectly fine. I agree with devans here, we should provide instructions, warn users about the caveats and have them compile MacPorts against MacPorts curl. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51516#comment:16> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for the Mac operating system
