Comment 1 Marius Mauch (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-07-12 03:27:23 UTC
why do you expect it to use curl ?
Comment 2 Jochen Maes (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-07-12 03:29:01 UTC
because on mac os wget isn't installed, and you'd need to use curl. 

this isn't really a thing that portage devs need to change but the osx departement .

i'm working on it, just wanted to let everyone know it is taking care of...

greetings

Wget is in the system profile for the new installer, meaning wget will now be installed by the time you are able to use emerge-webrsync. This turns this bug into a non-blocking bug I'd like to see the portage team fix for their next release: it should reuse the make.conf or make.default setting for fetching stuff.

marking this as a dupe of 57887 (patch is there).
I'll be commiting it in the next day or so- need to test it w/ wget prior.
Should remove the need for wget from the profile.
