Expired Certificate from runtime.panda3d.org

[riley]

Hi,

I have a software still runs on Panda3d 1.9 and I updated some of the codes and wishes to deploy it in the old way. However, when I try to pdeploy after packp3d, theres an error from pdeploy about expired certificate on runtime.panda3d.org. how do I get pass this error to get the .exe file?

Besides, is there a schedule for 1.10 installers? Was hoping to have something similar to pdeploy which generates .exe file and easy to use in 1.10. Thanks! https://docs.panda3d.org/1.10/python/distribution/packaging-binaries#installers

Help appreciated!

I had the same issue which sent me on the path towards porting my code to 1.10.x and it is still a work in progress.

The certificate is fine, but perhaps the runtime’s root certificate file is outdated. If so, we’d need to release a new version of the runtime to remedy this. However, we have discontinued the runtime, so this is unlikely to happen.

I seem to recall that there is a way to force the runtime to use a different host (and then set it to use the http host instead of https), but I don’t remember what the syntax for that is.

The binary produced by 1.10’s deployment system is portable and does not need an installer. But if you want, you can use any installer generation tool to have it installed on the user’s system.

I did a search on the forums and this was your response. Also using -M -u to set a non https doamin but I am little unclear where to do this.

@rdb

This issue has been reported many times now. The workaround is to pass -M and -u options to panda3d to set the host to the non-https domain. But for me, the latest devel version of the runtime fixes it as well.

Here is a link to another post on this. If I am understanding this correctly, the domain can be set in the packp3d operation which makes the p3d file before using pdeploy to make the final executable. Sometimes a feel like I know what I am doing here and sometimes I feel like a clueless newb. Thanks for your help rdb.

Trouble making installer

You can specify the source URL of a package on the packp3d command-line: packp3d -r MyPackage,0.0,https://raw.githubusercontent.com/legalian/HS/master/ -o something.p3d This will cause the Panda3D runtime to automatically download the latest version of MyPackage 0.0 when running your .p3d file. (You use the version to indicate the major version number, ie. incompatible releases, not to indicate minor version changes.) If you don’t like Panda3D built-in updater (eg. if you think it provides ins…

@Trouble making installer

-r MyPackage,0.0,https://raw.githubusercontent.com/legalian/HS/master/

What would be the correct syntax here to point at the runtime via non-https? Something like this I assume but what should “somethinghere” be replaced by?
-r somethinghere,0.0,http://runtime.panda3d.org/contents.xml?1602816746
