Warning: complicated developer content! :)
As Adrian posted on IRC, Func is now operating (in levels of increasing
workingness) with certmaster split out as a seperate
package/library/application. This means we are making the certmaster
tools seperate finally, so we can use certmaster for other
projects without having to install Func and the Func modules. In the
end, this means more usage for certmaster and also simplifing
the Func codebase a little bit.
To get at this developmetn effort now, run the following versions:
* func from the "devel" branch, see the PatchProcess document
alluded to earlier on how to check that out
* certmaster.git from Fedora Hosted Projects
"make install_hardest" is the best way to install both of these, and
keep in mind the values of the configuration files and
paths have changed slightly.
Note the new paths:
/etc/pki/certmaster
/var/lib/certmaster
With those versions, you will see that func no longer contains
certmaster-ca, certmasterd, etc and these are part of the certmaster
project.
There is an additional program "/usr/bin/certmaster-request" in
certmaster.git.
This application is there to make a request to certmaster to get a
cert. It uses /etc/certmaster/minion.conf -- note the path
change from /etc/func/minion.conf -- which still exists but contains
different contents. Certmaster request uses the very simple
python module certmaster.request -- so that's how Func is calling it.
I will be updating the Wiki instructions on the certmaster Trac instance
shortly -- we won't update content on the Func trac
instance until it's a bit closer to release -- and certmaster is
successfully in Fedora/EPEL as a seperate entity.
Install instructions will be just as short and it will be basically the
same, so don't panic :)
We intend to tackle service/application-specific certs further down the
road, right now certmaster-request requested certs are used by Func
and all other applications.
Questions welcome!
