This package configures the Mozilla rootcerts bundle CAs as trust anchors in OpenSSL, so that programs using OpenSSL will be able to use them to validate SSL certificates. For pkgsrc-provided OpenSSL, this package modifies ${PREFIX}/etc/ssl/certs, which belongs to another package. This is somewhat irregular as packages should not modify content under etc. For native OpenSSL, it modifies the base system OpenSSL certificate directory, e.g. /etc/openssl/certs or /etc/ssl/certs. This is necessary to configure trust anchors for native OpenSSL, so that progams in pkgsrc can use these CA certs in validation. Modification of /etc is very irregular as pkgsrc should not write anything outside of ${PREFIX}. See also the mozilla-rootcerts package (which this one depends on) for placing the Mozilla CA list in the filesystem but not configuring it into OpenSSL, as well as a script to aid in manual configuration of trust anchors.
