Furthermore, this is a design choice of FreeBSD not to include any list of trust anchors. It is the choice of the user to add a trust anchor. Consequently there won’t be a ‘fix’ from FreeBSD and there have been no fix for years – this is not a recent issue (please, see the issue report). Finally, that install script is going to change in the future and split-up into installing just build+essential and all dependencies. I see no reason why curl or wget should get an essential dependency.</p><p style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Asterisk downloads no other external part via HTTPs. It was just PJProject, only because Teluu got too much requests, and GitHub does not offer a choice. Additionally, the requirements of GitHub are quite high. There might be more (embedded) platforms affected by this.</p><p style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">HTTPs adds no additional security when signed checksums are included in the tarball one day. It is a waste of resources in case of Asterisk.</p><ul style="list-style: none; padding-left: 20px;"></ul><p>To view, visit <a href="https://gerrit.asterisk.org/8181">change 8181</a>.
