Subject: package (tinyca2) not longer present in F15, what to do about it?

For years before and up to F14 Fedora was contained package 'tinyca2'
(TinyCA is a graphical tool to manage a small Certification Authority, program was in group Applications/Internet).
This package is missing in F15, Technical Notes not mention nothing about this:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/15/html/Technical_Notes/index.html

I was using it for years and it's IMO usefull program for anyone who works with certificates. For now I simple build this package for F15 from its F14 SRPMS, but it would be better when this package was in Fedora distro again.

What I can do for it?

Thanks, Franta Hanzlik

Hi Franta,

It's a weeek ago, but it seems you didn't got a reply.
Personally i discorage people to use tinyca.
Yes is/was included in several distro's but afaicr last maintenance was done several years ago.

So i would recommend other solutions:
If it is just some self-signed certificates, you can ise the openssl commandline tools
If you are doing serious things with certificates, i would recommend ejbca

It is distro agnostic with a web interface (java engine)
