[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#1077869: zsh: please use secure URLs in debian/upstream/metadata

Source: zsh
Version: 5.9-6
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

While looking for upstream fixes for zsh compatibility with gcc 14,
I noticed that the source package uses git:// and http:// URLs in
debian/upstream/metadata, which do not authenticate the identity of the
remote server and so are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. Please
replace them with their equivalent https:// URLs, for example by applying
the attached patch.

Thanks,
