James McCoy commented on SERF-184:
----------------------------------

{quote}2. Source-based distributions can easily regenerate the certificates (the script for that is included in the source tree).{quote}

Indeed, that's what I [do|https://salsa.debian.org/jamessan/serf/blob/bdec955c811348060333c925ae014183562f939d/debian/rules#L25-31] in Debian.  However, that required getting {{create_certs.py}} from trunk, since it isn't part of the 1.3.x source.

> 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.
