Problems fetching from GitHub on 10.8?

[Kirill A. Korinsky]

Well... you need to build a MacPorts against some fresh enough libcurl :) Old system hasn't got enough.

I'm using bootstrap MacPorts with curl (and python) for old systems :) And it works very stable.

Can you use normal MacPorts and link MacPorts against curl from MacPorts? Yes, you can. But if you remove curl it won't work anymore. Completley.

The interesting thing, though, is that I have the MacPorts curl (and curl-ca-bundle) installed on the 10.8 VM already. I would have thought that MacPorts base would look for and use MacPorts curl and curl-ca-bundle if they're installed?
