Dear Markus,
In message 56122FA6.8010201@tqsc.de you wrote:
we are facing problems with downloading U-Boot tarballs and automated build systems.
Tarballs? But that should be trivial. Tarballs are easily available on the FTP server. They are also eavailable on ACD, but this is not exactly easy to script. See [1], bullet # 2 for details.
Alternatively, you can always use the snapshot links from the git repository to dynamically create and download tarballs of arbitrary versions in the git repo. This is also trivial to script (but please minimize such use to the necessary, as it puts a high load on the git server).
The old URL are redirected to owncloud.denx.de and owncloud.denx.de uses a self signed certificate.
What exactly do you mean by "old URL"?
owncloud.denx.de is in no way used for distributing the mainline versions of U-Boot. We host a number of customer specific repositories there, that's true, but these customers know how to access it. I don't think that there are any TQ specific repositories on our owncloud server.
Did we miss the hint where to get the certificate(s)?
I think you must be doing something wrong. No certificates are needed to download the tarballs from the FTP server, ACD or git.

Hope this helps.
