bug#67832: Emacs brew URL Has Expired SSL

I am trying to install emacs on a Macintosh.  As per the instructions at https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/download.html I ran:

    $ brew install --cask emacs

However, because the SSL cert is expired, instead of installing emacs I see:


==> Downloading https://emacsformacosx.com/emacs-builds/Emacs-29.1-1-universal.d

curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired

More details here: https://curl.se/docs/sslcerts.html



curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not

establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and

how to fix it, please visit the web page mentioned above.



Error: Download failed on Cask 'emacs' with message: Download failed: https://emacsformacosx.com/emacs-builds/Emacs-29.1-1-universal.dmg

Please update your certificate to have a non-expired date so that Mac users can install emacs.  Thanks!

Jeremy

AFAIK, we don't maintain emacsfomacosx.com, so I'm tagging this notabug
(meaning that we do not consider this a bug in Emacs itself).

Does anyone know who does administer that server so that we can forward
this information to them?

Hi,

Thank you for notifying me. I had to manually force my hosting provider 
(Dreamhost) to renew TLS cert yesterday—at this point everything should 
be good again.

This now reports no errors for me:
$ curl -s -o /dev/null https://emacsformacosx.com
$
