Name        : ca-certificates
Product     : Fedora 21
Version     : 2014.2.1
Release     : 1.5.fc21
URL         : http://www.mozilla.org/
Summary     : The Mozilla CA root certificate bundle
Description :
This package contains the set of CA certificates chosen by the
Mozilla Foundation for use with the Internet PKI.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

* A proper fix for missing ln utility during post-install.
* This update introduces the ca-legacy utility and a ca-legacy.conf configuration file.
Several legacy roots, which have been removed from the active trust list by the upstream Mozilla CA maintainers, are still required to be trusted for OpenSSL/GnuTLS compatibility, and are therefore kept enabled in the ca-certificates package by default.
Using the new ca-legacy utility, it is possible to opt-in to disable the trust for the legacy root CA certificates.
If disabled, the system will use the trust set as provided by the upstream Mozilla CA list, and as a consequence software based on OpenSSL/GnuTLS might fail to validate affected certificates.
