Is this the right place to note this problem?

Ran into some errors, checking found a problem with a ".cfg" file at Princeton.

Maybe just a hiccup? I use the princeton mirror with Cauldron and it works fine.
Code: Select all

You need to add the repo from "mirror.math.princeton.edu" with http instead of https. This will sucessfully add the medium.

princeton seems to have a improperly configured SSL certificate as the wget error code 5 (certificate error) says.

I have already switched to another mirror. My post is an announcement, as I think its the best way to trigger repair and maintenance to proceed at Princeton.

You can contact the server admins yourself.

As not many use https for pure distribution mirrors (as it doesn't add any security), it is unlikely that others will do it for you.

If you want it to get repaired, best contact their sysadmins / staff directly. There's nothing we can do regarding repair / maintenance for their mirror.
