Issue created Mar 30, 2020 by Taylor Yu@catalyst

consider using a GitHub mirror for tor-rust-dependencies

During a recent IP address change of the host of git.torproject.org (legacy/trac#33730 (moved)), a few Travis CI builds errored due to the unreachability of that host. (I think there were around five errored pull request builds? I restarted about three of them, ignoring the builds that were obsolete due to more recent changes.) I think this has happened before due to transient network faults.

We should consider making a GitHub mirror of the tor-rust-dependencies repository, and use that instead of the more canonical git.torproject.org location during Travis builds. (I'm guessing that the github.com repositories are very likely reachable if a Travis build starts successfully.) We might lose the ability to use the default git submodule setup done by Travis, though.
