Dear all, I am preparing to install and configure MacPorts on a new machine that has been supplied by my employer. It will be used in a corporate network with strict access controls between the intranet and the Internet.
The only option is to configure MacPorts to use HTTPS through the official proxy. The proxy mediates TLS connections using a MITM approach. MacPorts and its subtools need to be able to find the root certificate, which is officially available for installation where required. I checked the macports.org website today but I couldn't find instructions on how to do this. Also, since I last configured MacPorts, it has moved from Subversion to GitHub. Does anybody have any information that could help me? I found a placemarker for an unwritten HOWTO at https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto . I would be happy to help write this document, or at least to get it started. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!! Andrew P.S. Background context and past experience is as follows. On my previous machine, I was able to configure MacPorts so that `port sync` worked well over SVN+HTTPS and most port installations worked properly. I was never able to get `port selfupdate` working because rsync is blocked. This was a couple of years ago. Configuration was a complex and time-consuming job due to the constrained environment and lack of documentation. I eventually got a mostly-working setup by aggregating information from blog posts, Subversion documentation, other documentation, and Stack Exchange. -- OpenPGP key: EB28 0338 28B7 19DA DAB0 B193 D21D 996E 883B E5B9
