Subject: [gentoo-dev] Gentoo and Root CAs
Date: Mon, 31 Dec 2012 15:42:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121231144238.GA86695@kaini.schwarzvogel.de> (raw)
Hey,
Ryan Sleevi, who's working on Chromium and is familiar with other
project's Root Cert programs has written an article on how he
perceives assorted distributions handle Root CAs:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/105761279104103278252/posts/eVdB6X3NpPg
"""
[...]
Debian: From [5]. According to README.debian, to get a CA
included, all you need is two or three people to support you.
Gentoo: From [6] Same as Debian. Note they also modify other
packages (such as dev-libs/nss) to inject root certs into other
programs' root stores.
[...]
References:
[5] http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/all/ca-certificates
[6] http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/app-misc/ca-certificates/
"""
Now before you reply, RTFA. Also note that while my own opinion
on the matter is irrelevant, I _do_ think that his concerns need
to be addressed, particularly the second half of his statement.
Regards,
Tobias
