Kyle Evans bb302e707a caroot: blacklisted: automatically pick up *.pem in the tree
This kind of automagica got picked up in trusted/ prior to the initial
commit, but never got applied over in blacklisted. Ideally no one will be
using blacklisted/ to store arbitrary certs that they don't intend to
blacklist, so we should just install anything that's in here rather than
force consumer to first copy cert into place and then modify the file
listing in the Makefile.

Wise man once say: "it is better to restrict too much, than not enough.
sometimes."

# $FreeBSD$

This directory contains the scripts to update the TLS CA Root Certificates
that comprise the 'root trust store'.

The 'updatecerts' make target should be run periodically by secteam@
specifically when there is an important change to the list of trusted root
certificates included by Mozilla.

It will:
	1) Remove the old trusted certificates (cleancerts)
	2) Download the latest certdata.txt from Mozilla (fetchcerts)
	3) Split certdata.txt into the individual .pem files (updatecerts)

Then the results should manually be inspected (svn status)
	1) Any no-longer-trusted certificates should be moved to the
	blacklisted directory (svn mv)
	2) any newly added certificates will need to be added (svn add)


The following make targets exist:

cleancerts:
	Delete the old certificates, run as a dependency of updatecerts.

fetchcerts:
	Download the latest certdata.txt from the Mozilla NSS hg repo
	See the changelog here:
		https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/nss/log/tip/lib/ckfw/builtins/certdata.txt

updatecerts:
	Runs a perl script (MAca-bundle.pl) on the downloaded certdata.txt
	to generate the individual certificate files (.pem) and store them
	in the trusted/ directory.
