FreeBSD does not, and can not warrant that the certification authorities
whose certificates are included in this package have in any way been
audited for trustworthiness or RFC 3647 compliance.
Assessment and verification of trust is the complete responsibility of
the system administrator.
This package installs symlinks to support root certificate discovery
for software that either uses other cryptographic libraries than
OpenSSL, or use OpenSSL but do not follow recommended practice.
If you prefer to do this manually, replace the following symlinks with
either an empty file or your site-local certificate bundle.

security/ca_root_nss: Update to 3.129
Changes to the certificate store since 3.128:
- Removed Izenpe.com (server distrust after 2026-04-15, Mozilla bug
2017322: the attribute was set on the PKCS#11 trust object instead of
the certificate object, so it did not take effect until now)

security/ca_root_nss: Rework port
* Use DISTVERSION directly instead of calling VERSION_NSS
* Make use of EXTRACT_AFTER_ARGS,
reduces ~170Mbyte of I/O not used
* Remove ETCSYMLINK_CONFLICTS_INSTALL, no longer relevant
* Replace ${LN} -sf with ${RLN}
* Rearrange port Makefile to follow Porters Handbook more closely
and to improve readability

security/ca_root_nss: Make the certctl command overridable
For some purposes it's useful to be able to build the ca_root_nss with a
custom certctl command. It may be desireable for instance to run
certctl rehash at the end of a package upgrade rather than in the
middle, in which case it's sufficient to substitute CERTCTL_CMD=:.
Make the certctl command name a variable so that one can override it at
port build time. No functional change intended.

*/*: PORTREVISION++ on some @sample-using ports
The handling of @sample with regard to no-root installation was
recently fixed, by 452309533805 (in ports) plus changes in pkg 2.4.
These need new packages built before they will correctly install,
including into VM images generated as part of the FreeBSD release
process.
Unfortunately with the release scheduled for just a few weeks away
and generally slow arm64 package building, there isn't time for a
full pkg set rebuild; so bump a handful of ports which are used in
the release process so that they will be rebuilt.
Users who are not building VM images using the "no-root" pathway
(aka using a METALOG index of the disk image) are not affected by
this; we doubt anyone other than re@ will notice.

security/ca_root_nss: Make unprivileged installation possible
The post-install and post-deinstall scripts simply invoke "certctl
rehash", which of course requires root privileges. Modify them to
enable unprivileged installation, useful for building VM images. For
instance, FreeBSD's EC2 image builder wants to install amazon-ssm-agent,
which depends on ca_root_nss.
Modify the scripts to:
1. Use PKG_ROOTDIR as the root instead of assuming the default.
2. When installing, and PKG_METALOG is set, assume we're doing an
unprivileged build and tell certctl to write updates to the
configured METALOG.
Note, the use of PKG_METALOG depends on a new pkg feature:
https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/pull/2476
If an updated ca_root_nss is installed using an old pkg(8), then the
PKG_METALOG variable will not be set, so there are no compatibility
issues.

security/ca_root_nss: handle bundle links consistently for ETCSYMLINK
/usr/local/openssl/cert.pem is the default location for security/openssl
so it should be handled just like /etc/ssl/cert.pem base OpenSSL. To
avoid having samples and copies with differing contents point both files
to the actual /usr/local/etc/ssl/cert.pem created by the sample. If users
have set their own content that is likely intended and should be enforced
across all three files.

security/ca_root_nss: Restore the ETC_SYMLINK.
It turns out that some ports have an undisclosed dependency on the
symlink and cannot be trivially changed to use the system trust
store instead.
Amend the package message to make it clear that software which relies
on this symlink is not following recommended practice.
I will look into getting certctl(8) to provide cert.pem instead, but
it may take a while until we can rely on this being in place on all
supported releases.
This partly reverts commit 483e74f44b82.

NSS 3.83 shared libraries are backwards-compatible with all older NSS
3.x shared libraries. A program linked with older NSS 3.x shared
libraries will work with this new version of the shared libraries
without recompiling or relinking. Furthermore, applications that
restrict their use of NSS APIs to the functions listed in NSS Public
Functions will remain compatible with future versions of the NSS
shared libraries.
