 Edit your sources.conf and add `[nosync]` to the line adding your local
 repository. If it is also marked as `[default]` separate the options using
 a comma: `[default,nosync]`.

 it mww at macports.org?

 Yes. He should already get an email for each comment in this ticket, but
 he hasn't been very active recently, which is why I've taken care of all
 pressing issues with openssl in the last few months. Nevertheless, go
 ahead and email him, or open a new ticket with a patch and assign it to
 him/put him on cc.


 > But they surely do take their time, especially considering the
 obviousness of the issue (there was also a bug in ASN.1 type comparison
 function - a one-liner that I fixed along the way :).

 Yeah, I know. Nonetheless, I'd like to avoid patching security-relevant
 stuff, even if the issue is obvious. We're trying to avoid replicating
 some of the disasters Debian created when patching OpenSSL ;-)
