It’s already available. You just have to reinstall `curl` with the “metalink” variant. {{{ sudo port selfupdate sudo port upgrade --force --enforce-variants curl +metalink }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39031#comment:10> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
