Re: provide latest OS root certificates via port?

on IMO is that mpstats should depend on the curl port and always use that version of curl and not the OS version. I added a comment to that effect. I don't know how to change the keywords to add later OS versions up through Mojave, though. > On Oct 31, 2021, at 07:59, Richard L. Hamilton wrote: >

Re: provide latest OS root certificates via port?

Years ago, creating a (then OS X, now macOS) VM under free VirtualBox was a horrid pain (which is why I'm running the relatively expensive but nicer Parallels for that and VMs other than Solaris). But apparently now it's relatively easy. You do need plenty of extra disk space and I'd say 8GB

I think you're onto something here. (color highlighting added, not in the original output) sh-3.2$ # 10.14 sh-3.2$ /usr/bin/curl -sS https://ports.macports.org >/dev/null curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired # lines of advice in error message skipped here sh-3.2$

Re: provide latest OS root certificates via port?

You're (probably - seems plausible but I haven't verified it myself) right that that's annoying and fixable. But there's a big reason to think carefully about whether to do that. If something is old enough that it isn't receiving certificate updates, it probably isn't receiving security

Re: Is there a binary editor for MacPorts?

HexFiend (installs /Applications/MacPorts/Hex Fiend.app) is a true binary editor; it shows a split view, hex on the left, characters (ASCII with anything else replaced with periods or spaces, I guess) on the right; you can edit either side. Unlike some binary editors, it can handle insertions
