[U-Boot] U-Boot - Download URL and certificates

[U-Boot] U-Boot - Download URL and certificates

[Markus Niebel]

Hello,

we are facing problems with downloading U-Boot tarballs and automated build systems. The old URL are redirected to owncloud.denx.de and owncloud.denx.de uses a self signed certificate. 

To make things a little bit complexer - we need to use a proxy for all web accesses. The download breaks 
because the certificate can not be verified.

Did we miss the hint where to get the certificate(s)?

Any help is appreciated.

Best regards,

Markus Niebel

Tarballs?  But that should be trivial.  Tarballs are easily available
on the FTP server.  They are also eavailable on ACD, but this is not
exactly easy to script.  See [1], bullet # 2 for details.

Alternatively, you can always use the snapshot links from the git
repository to dynamically create and download tarballs of arbitrary
versions in the git repo.  This is also trivial to script (but please
minimize such use to the necessary, as it puts a high load on the git
server).

What exactly do you mean by "old URL"?

owncloud.denx.de is in no way used for distributing the mainline
versions of U-Boot.  We host a number of customer specific
repositories there, that's true, but these customers know how to
access it.  I don't think that there are any TQ specific repositories
on our owncloud server.

I think you must be doing something wrong.  No certificates are needed
to download the tarballs from the FTP server, ACD or git.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for clarification. When digging a bit deeper I saw that
something on out side messes with URLs - there is a mixup with 
ftp and http - and in fact http://ftp.denx.de gets redirected to an
owncloud URL. Have to look in this.

Thanks again and sorry for the noise
