I should point out that I am *not* the original author of these patches. I've integrated a couple of patches by Lutz Mändle <lmaendle@gmx.net> (as per https://www.clearskyinstitute.com/xephem/contrib/contrib.html) some time ago in a local Cygwin build of xephem, and now found that they seem to work fine for the Gentoo package as well. And I just learned that Elwood Downey has released xephem under the MIT license now, and a bunch of contributors now works at https://github.com/XEphem/XEphem on it. That's great news! Anyway, I hope this patch is still useful for the time being.

Created attachment 690096 [details] xephem-3.7.7-r2 ebuild with the added xephem-3.7.7-openssl_with_wx.patch Hi, I'll attach an ebuild and patch to enable downloading resources from HTTPS. The original 3.7.7 codebase could only download from HTTP URLs. With that downloading MPC ephemeris, sun and global weather maps works again. I'll also attach a diff of my /usr/local/portage/sci-astronomy/xepehem relative to the current /usr/portage/sci-astronomy/xepehem, in case that helps the maintainers. I suggest to release this as xephem-3.7.7-r2. Cheers, Alexander Wessel
