    .                    MOVED 
    security             Makefile 
  Removed files:
    security/ca-roots    Makefile pkg-descr pkg-plist 
    security/ca-roots/files ca-root.crt 
  Log:
  Retire the ca-roots ports, which expired long ago.
  
  The port is deprecated since it is not supported by the FreeBSD
  Security Officer anymore.  The reason for this is that the ca-roots
  port makes promises with regard to CA verification which the current
  Security Officer (and deputy) do not want to make.
  
  For people who need a general root certificate list see the
  security/ca_root_ns, but note that the difference in guarantees with
  regard to which CAs are included in ca_root_ns vs. ca-roots.  The
  ca_root_ns port basically makes no guarantees other than that the
  certificates comes from the Mozilla project.
  
  Note that the ca-roots MOVED file entry on purpose does not point at
  ca_root_ns due to the change in CA guarantees.
