CAcert Code Development list.

Ted,

This appears to be the last message in the thread, and now that I 
re-read it, I see some questionable information.

I don't understand his reference to "root.crt" and "class3.crt" since 
those are not mentioned on either "Page 3" or, as far as I can see, on 
that Wiki page.  Those names do appear on the Wiki page, but only as the 
target of a copy from the "correct" certificates.

If we are talking about Ales' statement that he quotes, or appears to 
quote, I'm not sure where it comes from. I have tried to read back 
through the threads that seem to be related, and I do not find that 
statement.

I suppose that a direct conversation with Johan, or Ales, might be in order.


Brian

Hi Aleš,

To be more specific: the certs downloadable from page
https://www.cacert.org/index.php?id=3 are serial 15 (root) and serial 14
(class3). The cert produced by https://www.cacert.org/certs/root.crt is
serial 0 (same for class3.crt).

For the description on
https://wiki.cacert.org/FAQ/ImportRootCert#Importing, apparently the serial
0 certs are used, with openssl version 0.x (2014).

Regards,
        Johan
