question about resigning a certificate

(Resending because I accidentally sent this
reply from the wrong addresslast week, and
yes, this is the correct mailing list).

No, don't dump the CA certificate.  Dump one
of the *old* *issued*certificates.

There is nothing to diff against, you need to
see in what ways the *old**issued*
certificates referred to the *old* CA
certificate, and then makesure those values
remain the same in the new CA certificate.
