wget --no-check-certificate (3.0.0.7-beta)

Post by DaN »

Would it be possible to do wget without "--no-check-certificate" in future update scripts? I suspect its not a good idea in the long run.

wget was broken for a long time in CentOS. We tried to resolve it (update root certs, import site certs, etc.) but for a while there it was broken and we had to add this as a workaround.

In future updates I want to wget only from dl.efa-project.org instead of directly from github.
That way we have some control and we can do things like md5sums also, (Centos and github had some issues with the certificates so we had to create a workaround to keep updates working.)
Version eFa 5.x now available!
