Subject: Please include the Amazon EC2 public certificate in ca-certificates.

Date: Sun, 14 Mar 2010 22:46:57 +0900

Package: ca-certificates
Version: 20090814
Severity: wishlist

Dear Philip,

some packages related to the Amazon Elastic Computer Cloud (EC2) would benefit
to have its public certificate availabe in a Debian packages. We, the
maintainers of the euca2ools package, wonder if ca-certificates would be an
approporiate place.

( http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-eucalyptus-maintainers/2010-March/000013.html
and earlier messages in the thread.)

The EC2 certificate can be found in the following archive:
http://s3.amazonaws.com/ec2-downloads/ec2-ami-tools.zip

Although the software in this archive is distributed under the Amazon Software
License, we think that public certificate is not subject to a licence, since
it is not the product of an intellectual work.

What is your opinion on including the Amazon EC2 public certificate in
ca-certificates?

Have a nice day,

Dear Miguel,

the approach we took was to propose this certificate to be added in the
ca-certificates packages.

Philipp, do you think it would be possible?

Have a nice day,

Hi Charles,
Great, I had not considered that alternative. That is a more elegant solution.
Thanks for your quick reply,

Cheers,

Subject: Where should the EC2 AMI certificate live?

thanks

As Charles mentioned in #597537 [0], the EC2 AMI certificate is
distributed in the euca2ools package in Ubuntu - should it live in
euca2ools in Debian?  Or, perhaps in the future cloud-utils package [1],
as Charles mentions later in the same bug report?

I am working on cleaning up the ca-certificates bug list and since AWS
EC2 is not a signing Certificate Authority, I don't think it is
appropriate for ca-certificates.  I would like to reassign the merged
bugs #573857 and #597537 to a proper package that would like to include
the EC2 certificate.  Thoughts?

Thanks. It may not be perfect but I believe it's the right way to go at
this point. Of course we can change things anytime later when it makes
sense.


Cheers,
Thijs
