Re: Problems fetching from GitHub on 10.8?

[Jason Liu]

I see... I didn't realize that MacPorts base was actually linking against
libcurl, and not just simply calling the curl command-line utility.

Well... you need to build a MacPorts against some fresh enough libcurl :) Old 
system hasn't got enough.

I'm using bootstrap MacPorts with curl (and python) for old systems :) And it 
works very stable.

Can you use normal MacPorts and link MacPorts against curl from MacPorts? Yes, 
you can. But if you remove curl it won't work anymore. Completley.

Thanks Kirill. I'm still reading my way through that Trac ticket, but I
think I'm starting to get the gist of what's going on. The interesting
thing, though, is that I have the MacPorts curl (and curl-ca-bundle)
installed on the 10.8 VM already. I would have thought that MacPorts base
would look for and use MacPorts curl and curl-ca-bundle if they're
installed?

Problems fetching from GitHub on 10.8?

[Jason Liu]

On my Mountain Lion VM, a Portfile that I'm working on updating doesn't
seem to be able to fetch the distfile from GitHub, but the same Portfile is
able to fetch just fine from my El Capitan VM. Is anyone else on 10.8
experiencing this issue when attempting to fetch directly from GitHub?
