Re: [Savannah-hackers-public] Unreachable https and rsync mirrors

[Ian Kelling]

I manually curled 2 of the bad mirrors listed here
https://download.savannah.gnu.org/mirmon/allgnu/, and there is a cert
error. I'm pretty sure, the issue is that the ca-certs needs updating on
the machine running mirmorn. The os itself could use an update too. Bob,
you there?

Related, on https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/Mirmon/ there is a
broken link, which also has a bad cert

$ curl https://dl.sv.gnu.org/releases-noredirect/00_MIRRORS.html
curl: (51) SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host 
name 'dl.sv.gnu.org'
