[jira] [Commented] (SERF-184) Serf has an expiry date

["Branko Čibej (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SERF-184?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16481617#comment-16481617 ] 

Branko Čibej commented on SERF-184:
-----------------------------------

I don't think we should do anything about this.
# Software archeologists can fudge their system date themselves.
# Source-based distributions can easily regenerate the certificates (the script for that is included in the source tree).
# {{datefudge}} is tragically platform-specific.

> Expiring certificates makes it difficult to build older versions of Serf without manual intervention. This is a big problem for source-based distributions and software archaeologists.
> GnuTLS uses [datefudge|https://packages.debian.org/sid/datefudge] to fake the system time so the package is reproducible forever.
