Re: privoxy-pki-bundle not Behaving as Desired – Request for Assistance

[Steven Smith]

Thank you for the helpful answers.

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`.
