I would be fine dropping support for 0.5 altogether but the error seems to be unrelated to the package code:

The error appears to be in cloning the METADATA repo:

```

This doesn’t happen in 0.6 and above, and previous builds have succeeded for 0.5. I’ve tried restarting the job several times but the result is always the same. Could this perhaps be some change in METADATA.jl that got backported to 0.6 but not to 0.5?

It might be due to a change in the SSL library.
