So, the issue is that I am (intentionally) using a very old Linux distribution for this autobuilder instance, and the distro is so old that OpenSSL+ca-certificates are no longer compatible with the requirements of https:// on github.com. But instead of failing with an error, it just remains stuck forever. An "openssl s_client -connect" test clearly reveals that it's never going to connect to github.com from my old distro. So, I'm wondering what to do. Should I give up testing Buildroot on Debian Squeeze, and move to Debian Wheezy instead? I could perhaps backport openssl+ca-certificates, but what's the point of testing such an old distro, if random packages have anyway to be upgraded for Buildroot to work correctly? Arnout, Yann, Peter, what do you think? I've also Cc'ed Thomas DS, who is known to use Buildroot on really old Linux distros. Thomas: what are the oldest distro you're still running Buildroot on? If it's some RHEL distro, what is the closest Debian version? Do you get openssl/ca-certificates updates on this RHEL, which allows such machines to continue to connect over HTTPS to modern web sites?
