Customisation of the MacPorts download method

2014-10-27 Thread Artur Szostak
Hi, Am I correct in assuming that MacPorts uses curl or the curl library to perform source code downloads? And is there any way to customise this? for example, get MacPorts to use wget instread? The reason is that I am experiencing problems with curl, while wget works. Kind regards. Artur

Subject: Re: Customisation of the MacPorts download method Hi, How have you figured the VM to connect to the network. Direct, or NAT ? Does MacPorts work OK on the host machine directly ? I have serveral OSX VMs running in a MacMini, previously running OSX 10.9 (now 10.10), and they worked just fine

You’re running into a deadlock with FTP: the machines on both sides of the connection have restrictive firewalls, so additional ports cannot be opened for listening. This means you just need to disable passive mode for the ports whose servers need that, which should be simply adding this when

Each server’s networking restrictions may be different; this might be the only server needing the change and all other FTP servers would break from it. I’d definitely take this one port at a time, or figure out the VM networking situation. On Oct 27, 2014, at 14:41, Artur Szostak
