distfile downloads failing on https

Recently, I have tweaked textproc/lowdown https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/1245 to download the distfile from a http master site, not a https one, because the https server rejects the weak ssl of some older MacOS systems, which could not download the distfile then. That worked for a

lowdown not helped by snowleopardfixes

Hi Ken, when I created the textproc/lowdown port not long ago https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/1241 you kindly advised me to use PortGroup snowleopard_fixes 1.0 so that older MacOS sysem without e.g. strndup(3) can still compile lowdown. However, it seems that the compila

Re: lowdown not helped by snowleopardfixes

I'll take a look. The PG adds -lsnowleopardfixes to the ldflags, but thats not showing up in your build for some reason. For some ports, you have to add the flag a different way, via a patch or similar... K > On Feb 21, 2018, at 05:40, Jan Stary wrote: > > Hi Ken, > > when I created the text

I should have been more descriptive about the /opt/bootstrap part of the post below. Like you, I didn't like the circular dependency. If you "sudo port uninstall active", you're hooped. So here's what I actually do on all systems 10.4 to 10.7 using Macports from this page

Search for a MacPorts Mascot: looking for talented artists

Hi, During the GSOC meeting in Mountain View we had some fruitful evening discussions where we were heavily criticised for not having our own happy fluffy animal mascot (like a flying platypus?) which we could take to every meeting or hacking event where we show up. Something in the spirit of ...

Re: lowdown not helped by snowleopardfixes

lowdown uses it's own completely unique methods for configure and library function replacements, I see. It clears out the LDFLAGS during the build, ergo the -lsnowleopardfixes not being honoured it also replaces some functions on it's own, so there might be collisions if -lsnowleopardfixes was
