There are known problems with SSL fetches on 10.5 and earlier. Current workaround according to ryandesign is to rely on fetching from our distfiles mirrors. Currently the distfiles mirrors are updated twice a week so, in this case, they may not have done so as yet. The plan is to switch to updating these mirrors on each commit but that hasn't happened yet.

See also #52528.

Am I right in guessing that you're using 10.5 or earlier? If so, this is a duplicate of that ticket.

[dliessi (Davide Liessi)]

I'm using 10.6.8.

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

Well, this may be something else then. Can you fetch the distfile manually using your web browser? How about curl/wget?

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

FWIW, fetch of git distfile using port works for me on my 10.11 system

and curl and wget work as well.

[dliessi (Davide Liessi)]

I was able to fetch the distfile manually with the web browser and with both curl and wget.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Each new version of Mac operating system includes newer versions of curl and openssl. It is definitely possible to configure a web server in such a restrictive way that only very new versions of curl and openssl can access it. That is what the administrators of kernel.org appear to have done. I am able to access kernel.org from Mavericks and later, but not Mountain Lion or earlier.

So this is a known problem with nothing else to do other than what's already planned elsewhere.

In 7a428704/macports-ports:

git: add alternative download URL to master_sites

The main server at www.kernel.org has a hard requirement for TLS 1.2,
which is not available on older versions of macOS. This CDN mirror is
less restrictive and can be accessed using TLS 1.0.
