<para>The &os; <application>Subversion</application> mirrors
previously used self-signed SSL certificates documented in
this chapter. As of July 14, 2015, all mirrors now use an
official SSL certificate that will be recognized by

installed. The legacy self-signed certificates and server
names are still available but are deprecated and no longer
supported.</para>

<para><acronym>HTTPS</acronym> is the preferred protocol,

<para>Seeing one of these legacy certificate
fingerprints means it is likely that a deprecated
server name is being used.</para>
<para>HTTPS is the preferred protocol, but the
<filename role="package">security/ca_root_nss</filename>
package will need to be installed in order to automatically
validate certificates.</para>
