GitHub Support after SSL Change...

Dear CK and TFF Team: Just a quick question. I seem to recall you saying you were moving to GitHub and if that is the case, how are you getting around their SSL change for update-checks and such?

I am tied to a project on there and we can't get through any longer with shell-scripting in Tiger.

Any Ideas very much welcome.

   You would need to build a new git with an updated openssl. I actually did build this (it builds updated openssl, openssh, curl and git binaries and statically links them so that they are drop-in replacements), and we'll see if it works. If it does, then I'll make it available. It has no dependencies other than Xcode 2.5.

   Alternatively, you could update using MacPorts, though I imagine not much is checked against Tiger these days. I didn't have a good result trying to do this with Tigerbrew, which is why I did it myself.

   Thanks so much for the reply! How are you handling ssl with TFF? I never run into problems with it. Am wondering is it possible to make a terminal executable for curl that can be bundled?

   Thanks!

   BTW a different kind of "Ludditism" - here are a few shots taken with a 1951 Kodak Signet 35 (originally made for the US Airforce). Scanned with Nikon 4000 ED in OS9.

   TenFourFox includes its own TLS library (Mozilla NSS), which is completely separate from the operating system.
