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 with MacPorts. I have them
connecting directly to my home network, so they appear as machines in
their own right on the network. This is with VMware fusion though, not
virtual box, which I am not familiar with, but I imagine it has similar
networking options... If you are currently using NAT, I would maybe see
if a direct connection helps ...

OK,
I am running OS X 10.9 in VirtualBox on a MacMini, itself running 10.9. The
purpose is to have a build/test image that can be thrown away and recreated.
MacPorts 2.3.1 is installed on the virtual machine guest from the provided
package:
https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.3.1-10.9-Mavericks.pkg
When trying to install wcslib with the following command:
sudo port install wcslib
The command hangs at the point where it is trying to download the file
wcslib-4.23.tar.bz2 from ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/software/wcslib/. At some
point it eventually times out and the command fails.
When trying to download the file
(ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/software/wcslib/wcslib-4.23.tar.bz2) manually with
the curl command, I reproduce the hang. However, when trying to download the
same file with wget it downloads successfully.
Looking through the verbose trace of curl's connection produces no clues as to
what may be wrong:
$ curl -v ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/software/wcslib/wcslib-4.23.tar.bz2

TYPE I
(hangs, no more output)
So, its clear its a networking problem, but its not clear at what level. It
could be either on the server side, in the VirtualBox networking, or in curl
itself.
I would love to solve the route cause of the problem, but I do not see how this
is going to be fixed anytime soon. Thus, for the time being I need a workaround
if possible: Can one tell MacPorts to use a different download tool?
Kind regards.
Artur

Subject: Re: Customisation of the MacPorts download method
Can you elaborate on the issues?
Rather than avoiding the problem it’d be best to fix it.

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.
