> 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.
