We’re no longer using our old ftp, rsync, and git links for distributing OpenSSL. These were great in their day, but it’s time to move on to something better and safer. ftp://ftp.openssl.org and rsync://rsync.openssl.org are not available anymore. As of June 1, 2024, we’re also going to shut down https://ftp.openssl.org and git://git.openssl.org/openssl.git mirrors.
GitHub is becoming the main distributor of the OpenSSL releases.
Aren’t they going to shut down their git mirror too, soon?
Well, I’ve took it to read it for myself on how they receive contribution, and it always need to be from github anyway unlike say Linux which accept email patches.
