Re: libuv fails to build on 10.8.5

[Dmitri Zaitsev]

I have now manually downloaded the missing file and uploaded the  new error
log that is twice as long.

It seems all download failures were only from the rust site, not the
macports mirrors.
However, the script keeps claiming the files do not exist, even when they
are seemingly present.

But the actual build errors are reported further down the log file, so the
problem seems to be elsewhere.

Re: libuv fails to build on 10.8.5

[Mojca Miklavec]

I'm away from computer, but on anything older than 10.9 you need to either
compile macports from source and link against a newer curl (bootstrapping)
or download manually and put files to correct location, or fetch files from
the macports mirror which still offers http.

Maybe port fetch could support a special flag to use alternative download
method.

Re: libuv fails to build on 10.8.5

[Christopher Jones]

Indeed macports does not care about what web browser you use. The fact you can 
download with that does not matter. 

What matters is what macports ‘port’ command uses. It is this you need to 
bootstrap.

Re: libuv fails to build on 10.8.5

[Christopher Jones]

Hi,

sites do not care specifically about the OS version, but the SSL/TLS levels 
that are supported. When a connection is opened the server and client first 
negotiate what to use, based on what the client supports and what the server 
requires. If the client cannot provide what the server requires, the connection 
is denied.

If you want more information on this, you need to do your own research. A web 
search for SSL/TLS should be a good start.

Re: libuv fails to build on 10.8.5

[Dmitri Zaitsev]

Maybe I should add that this issue is not due to my system's curl and git
clients,
both are up-to-date and work fine without the issues mentioned there.

Also I can easily access the same URL and download the files manually.

The issue seems to be only with MacPorts apparently not using my newer
clients.

I am on 10.8.5.

Re: libuv fails to build on 10.8.5

[Dmitri Zaitsev]

It would be critical for me to know which versions are supported and
compatible with my old hardware to run without issues.
Otherwise I might end up dealing with problems much worse than this one.

Are you saying these site explicitly deny connections based on the OS
version number, regardless of the actual client I am using?
I find this puzzling as I only need the read access via my client that
should not need to pass any details such as OS version to the site.

Is there anywhere I could find some information about this issue?

Thank you,
Dmitri.

I cannot give you OS versions, but the core issue is a lot of sites have turned 
off support for old insecure SSL/TLS versions, and macOS10.8 does not have 
support for the newer ones they now require.

what OS you run is of course your choice. I gave my advice and you are free to 
take or leave it.

In this case though, upgrading your OS would absolutely 100% fix your SSL 
problems though, as these are completely specific to running out-of-date 
systems.

Re: libuv fails to build on 10.8.5

[Dmitri Zaitsev]

Hi Chris,

I understand that MacPorts are supporting old versions going back to Tiger
and some of the stats confirm users' downloads. I do appreciate the advice
to upgrade but there can be many personal reasons why people prefer to stay
with their older systems. It is however not at all obvious that a plain
upgrade to some later supported OS would actually fix that problem, so
having an alternative would help all these users, and as you mention it is
entirely within the MacPorts system that some older `ssl` is used
internally for some reason, instead of the more recent available one that
could have been used instead, in which case the problem might have not
existed.

I do appreciate your time and fully understand that this is not your
concern but would be still thankful if anyone could advice on how to
configure MacPorts to use the recent ssl.

Cheers,
Dmitri.

Re: libuv fails to build on 10.8.5

[Christopher Jones]

Hi,

First, please keep the discussion on the mailing list.

just installing the up to date ports for openssl etc. is not enough, as by 
default the fetches macports performs will not use these. 

I believe there are ways to bootstrap macports to do this, but as I have no 
need of it (I don’t run such old OSes myself, apart from in VMs for test 
purposes) I cannot comment on how that is done.

( Updating your OS is really the best option, if your hardware supports a new 
OSes. 10.8 hs not received any security updates for quite a while now…. )

Hi,

I have commented on both tickets. They are in essence the same problem, the out 
of date SSL support in macOS10.8 that is causing you https fetch issues.

I have managed to get around the first one by manually downloading the
file, but have no idea what to do about the second, which might have the
same cause (failed downloads).

Any hint is appreciated.
