Hmm, I can't get this to build either but am getting a different (after trying to update to 0.18.4):

error: no such module 'SWXMLHash'
import SWXMLHash

For your error, it seems something is wrong with the ssl cert (proxy?):

	:info:destroot fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/Carthage/Commandant.git/': SSL certificate problem: Couldn't understand the server certificate format

The Milestone field is for use by Macports team members only, please do not set it.

Ports should not download things outside of the fetch phase.

For sure, I agree. It'd be a bit of work (at least last time I checked) to make this happen. If I recall, everything was stuffed into prefix_install including the fetching of random packages. I can see about changing that assuming it's gotten better.

Have a look at #50469

I think this is the same thing, and has nothing to do with the ssl cert. TD;DR the error is being generated by curl, which for some reason, behaves differently when run manually that it does when MacPorts runs it.

Replying to karnevil9:

for some reason

As explained in comment:ticket:50469:47, a path needs to be added to the sandbox.

But fixing that will merely allow this port's rogue destroot phase git clone to succeed, which will not fix the fact that the port should not be git cloning in destroot phase at all.

I don't have the bandwidth for swift / source kitten ports; someone else please feel free to take this over.
