--- Comment #3 from Kubilay Kocak <koobs at FreeBSD.org> ---
Even if its 'reliable' in the connectivity/availability sense it may not be
appropriate as it may not provide processed files in the same form as the
distribution.

Further, using a direct URL per attachment 205616 to github, and to the master
branch directly, is not framework compliant. USE_GITHUB/GH_* variables must be
used to obtain a named (either by tag or commit hash) tarball, not a moving
target.

If it is determined and confirmed that using GitHub as the source for these
files is appropriate, the changeset it should also be fully QA'd to ensure that
additional or further port changes are not necessary.

For example, but not limited to: often repository tarballs for projects that
use GNU autoconf as a build system  require auto[re]conf/auto* tools to be run
first to produce ./configure & Makefiles which exist in the distribution
tarballs, but not in the repository sources.

Alternatively, this may be closed -> Not Accepted in favour of requesting
upstream support SSL on their existing distribution file host

Given this port currently has no maintainer, I'd tend to lean towards the
latter as the best present/first port of call to resolve this issue.
