<civodul>pabs3: weird, it must be the Haunt upgrade that didn’t go well <civodul>the repo linked at the bottom hasn’t changed in 3 years <Googulator>aargh, OpenSSL maintainers are actively hostile to the idea of allowing plain HTTP downloads, and seem to be campaigning for others to also go HTTPS-only... <Googulator>I guess we need to work on reducing the list of packages needed for bootstrapping OpenSSL <Googulator>fossy: at first glance, we can definitely push xz, the newer tar, newer libtool, newer coreutils, gmp, mpfr, mpc & autoconf-archive until after we have HTTPS <Googulator>we can also delay getting nss at the cost of some additional complexity in helper.sh (to pass --insecure if we already have SSL support, but no CA certs yet) - also, using HTTPS, we can get just the certificate data from NSS, instead of the whole massive tarball <Googulator>hopefully the newer bash & make aren't strictly required either <Googulator>OpenSSL's Perl requirement appears to be 5.10.x - if I also push dist & perl 5.32 to after openssl, I get a 251MiB init.img, just barely squeaking by the 256MiB target (but beware potential issues with filling up the Fiwix initrd) <matrix_bridge><Andrius Štikonas> Yeah, sounds like we need to move openssl pre-network <lanodan>Maybe BearSSL could be used instead of OpenSSL? It's supported by curl and only needs make (even pdpmake) and a C compiler (TCC works fine). <civodul>there was a problem with the latest version of Haunt, the web site generator
