is now available for testing. Content information, including changes,
can be found at https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5545#comment:6 .

Shared System Certificates - TEST DAY, Thursday 2013-03-28
by Kamil Paral
Hi testers, developer, users, hackers, and friends!
We'd like to invite you to our Shared System Certificates Test Day [1]
on this Thursday, March 28 [2]. You can test this feature running from
Fedora 19 live images and help to make this release better.
Join IRC #fedora-test-day on FreeNode and ask QA or developers for help
if you have problems with any of the tests. Feel free to report a bug to
Bugzilla usually for the component ca-certificates, or p11-kit. If you
are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other
information to include, just ask on IRC and we will help you.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2013-03-28_Shared_System_Certific...
- Some facts about Shared System Certificates -
The intention of the project is to have a single point for CA
certificates and trust configuration on a Linux system, which can be
consumed by multiple cryptographic toolkits and applications, including,
but not limited to, Mozilla Firefox and NSS.
As part of the p11-kit open source project, Stef Walter developed a
software PKCS#11 module that can act as a compatible replacement for one
of the components of NSS, the nssckbi module.
While nssckbi contains a static set of CA certificates and trust
settings, the new p11-kit-trust module is dynamic. It interacts with a
shared system area to dynamically obtain the list root CA certificates
and their trust settings.
The new shared system area, that Linux distributions can use with
p11-kit-trust, will be preconfigured with the identical contents as
defined by the Mozilla root CA program and as contained in NSS. It can
also get updated whenever Mozilla updates the list.
However, it can be used to adjust a system's configuration, either to
extend, modify or restrict the default trust settings. Because
p11-kit-trust will dynamically merge the system specific configuration
with the default trust settings, updates to the Mozilla CA list continue
to be possible and will be active, unless overriden by system specific
rules.
In other words, this technology will effectively enable administrators
of Linux systems to adjust the root CA list used by Firefox, without
having to modify data stored in NSS databases nor in a user's Firefox
profile directory, and without having to use the Certificate Manager
provided by Firefox. Nevertheless, users of NSS applications such as
Firefox will still be able to override or adjust trust settings, which
will continue to be stored as user (or Firefox) specific settings.
Thanks and Regards!

# Location: #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode.net
Greetings testers!
It's meeting time again on Monday! We're rolling on F19 testing now, so
let's check where we stand on TC1 testing after the weekend (please test
over the weekend, folks!) and plan for TC2 / RC1. We should also look at
how the big showstopper in yum for network installs is affecting our
test coverage and try to mitigate that. We can look back at this week's
GNOME Test Day and plan for next week's System Certificates Test Day
too.
This is a reminder of the upcoming QA meeting. Please add any topic
suggestions to the meeting wiki page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Meetings/20130325
The current proposed agenda is included below.
== Proposed Agenda Topics ==
1. Previous meeting follow-up
2. Fedora 19 Alpha status
3. Test Days
