Description
Even though is available since version 7.27.0, the currently distributed curl port has no support for Metalinks:
$ sudo port install curl +ssl +ares +sftp_scp Password: ---> Computing dependencies for curl ---> Cleaning curl ---> Scanning binaries for linking errors: 100.0% ---> No broken files found. $ curl --metalink Warning: --metalink option is ignored because the binary is built without the Warning: Metalink support. curl: no URL specified! curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information
Any chance to have this added by default? Or maybe via a variant?
Many thanks

First someone would have to write a port for libmetalink, as MacPorts currently doesn't have it yet:
gl00b05048:~ egall$ port search metalink No match for metalink found
There's both a Homebrew formula and a Fink package to work from, so it shouldn't be too hard to write a portfile for it... (I've been meaning to do this myself for a while now...)

Whoa! You guys are fast! :)
Thanks for the replies, I look forward metafiles are part of port (yes, pun intended.)
PS: sorry for the cc-me-thing!

OK, made a new ticket for the creation of the libmetalink port: #39036. Once that one is closed we can move forward with this one.

Replying to unwiredbrain@…:

It’s already available. You just have to reinstall curl with the “metalink” variant.
sudo port selfupdate sudo port upgrade --force --enforce-variants curl +metalink
