simon 2008-06-29 16:48:01 UTC FreeBSD ports repository Modified files: . MOVED security Makefile Removed files: security/ca-roots Makefile pkg-descr pkg-plist security/ca-roots/files ca-root.crt Log: Retire the ca-roots ports, which expired long ago. The port is deprecated since it is not supported by the FreeBSD Security Officer anymore. The reason for this is that the ca-roots port makes promises with regard to CA verification which the current Security Officer (and deputy) do not want to make. For people who need a general root certificate list see the security/ca_root_ns, but note that the difference in guarantees with regard to which CAs are included in ca_root_ns vs. ca-roots. The ca_root_ns port basically makes no guarantees other than that the certificates comes from the Mozilla project. Note that the ca-roots MOVED file entry on purpose does not point at ca_root_ns due to the change in CA guarantees.
