A standard install command grabs pre-built stuff from https://packages.macports.org/privoxy-pki-bundle <https://packages.macports.org/privoxy-pki-bundle>. This pre-built stuff is inevitably stale because it inevitably contains expired certs. We want to port to install stuff, just not pre-built expired stuff.
The desired behavior is to always install from “source,” i.e. the behavior that goes with “port -s install” which always installs the latest up-to-date PKI. How does one write a Portfile to prevent installs from being cached at https://packages.macports.org/privoxy-pki-bundle ? > sudo port install privoxy-pki-bundle > ---> Computing dependencies for privoxy-pki-bundle > ---> Fetching archive for privoxy-pki-bundle > ---> Attempting to fetch > privoxy-pki-bundle-3.0.33_3+user_pki_bundle.darwin_21.x86_64.tbz2 from > https://packages.macports.org/privoxy-pki-bundle > On May 22, 2022, at 5:19 AM, Ryan Schmidt <ryandes...@macports.org> wrote: > > On May 21, 2022, at 12:40, Steven Smith wrote: > >> Is there a way to achieve the second objective: prevent MacPorts from >> building and caching its own copy of the port contents, which for this port >> will inevitably be filled with expired certificates? >> >> Right now, avoiding this issue requires installing the port from “source” >> with `port -s install`. > > Again I don't understand the question. > > If you don't want the port to install anything, write the destroot phase to > do that.
