#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 ken.cunningham.webuse@…):
Best world, IMO, would be for them to form an ad hoc interest group within MacPorts so they could cooperatively work on these issues themselves.
That might be a good idea. Even for example a separate trac stream for <10.8 issues would keep the main stream uncluttered, give a voice to those trying to keep these machines going, but keep the signal-to-noise ratio up for the main cadre of users. People who wanted to help out with older systems could. I have been working on port repository overlays for my own use that provide workable shadows for no-longer-working ports on Tiger / Leopard / Snowleopard. For example, <https://github.com/ken-cunningham- webuse/TigerPorts>. Other Tiger users would likely find this helpful. Welcome any contribution or input. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51516#comment:14> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for the Mac operating system
