Package: ca-certificates
Version: 20050804
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I'm reporting this bug with the xulrunner maintainer and the firefox
co-maintainer hats on.

It would be interesting if update-ca-certificates would allow hooks so
that we could update some other "certificate database" besides
/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt.

What I have in mind, for instance, would be a hook that calls certutil
(when it is packaged, wishlist bug #377269) to update a .db file that
firefox/xulrunner/whatever is using libnss could use.

It would be nice if the hooks would be called for addition, modification
and removal of certificates instead of calling them each time for the
whole set of certificates, but I don't know how difficult it would be to
do that.

Any comments welcome.

Cheers,

Mike
