brickwizard, I have the same ssl issue when updating pinxi on my debian 5, pentium mmx, certificates are out of date.
To get around this, you can use this to install pinxi the first time:
Note the different url, this is my server, not the redirect to github, which this doesn't work for:
Code:
cd /usr/local/bin && sudo wget -O pinxi --no-check-certificate smxi.org/in/pinxi && sudo chmod +x pinxi
pinxi can then be updated whenever you want like so:
All old operating systems will have old expired cerfificates, and github won't let you connect with those, but my server doesn't care. -U 3 means update from my server, not the redirect to github.
pinxi is updated every night from github to my server, so that version is usually up to date unless being actively developed, then I use a small local tool to instantly update it using rsync, that helps. I use -U 3 usually because github has an annoying tendency to throttle commits and make you wait after the 3rd or 4th quick commit, so -U 3 gets around that by bypassing github completely.
Note I couldn't get to anything today but will check in here tomorrow, had to fix a ton of stuff from user data that showed a lot of issues, some issues remain unfortunately with cache detection, but many issues have been resolved today, so make sure to get the latest pinxi!
