Dear BLFS folks,


It’d be awesome if you used the more secure HTTPS URL for downloading
the HarBuzz archive in the instructions [1].

Yes, because it is totally very important that open source source code downloads are processed with the highest privacy possible.

Maybe the anduin patch downloads could be put in the darknet and only be made accessible by a tor browser, how about that?


```
$ curl -I

Maybe that could be done for all URLs with the domain *www.freedesktop.org*.


Kind regards,

Paul
