[DRE-maint] Bug#951008: gem2deb: dh-make-ruby generates insecure URLs

[Marc Dequènes (duck)]

Package: gem2deb
Version: 1.0.4
Severity: important


Quack,

When updating a package with the recently updated "new-upstream" script 
it calls dh-make-ruby. This results in the Homepage URL in 
debian/control to switch to insecure, and the newly generated 
debian/upstream/metadata file to contains insecure URLs.

Calling the script without --offline does not change anything (it might 
have tested available URLs).

Anyway, I think nowadays insecure URLs are exceptions and our tools must 
default to using HTTPS (and the maintainer can override if there is no 
other way to reach upstream's website).

Regards.
