Comment (by udbraumann):

 Replying to [comment:10 kencu]:
 > I think I know why you had trouble downloading the distfile from the
 original source -- you are using a stock install of MacPorts that has no
 upgraded SSL capability, and so you likely couldn't get the file from the
 upstream server -- and it wasn't mirrored in the botan1 directory.

 [http://distfiles.macports.org/botan1] had not been existing yet the
 moment when I was doing the install. [http://distfiles.macports.org]
 should be and remain accessible using the - meanwhile - ancient `ssl`
 (including cyphers) shipped with 10.5.8, or am I wrong? But anyway, how
 could I add the mirror server with very old security you were mentioning
 to the list of mirrors? And where can I read about the way to build
 Macports against a current SSL subsystem? Years ago I published a way to
 manually replace the respective library in this forum, but was warned to
 do this, so I reversed my change back to the original.
