Browse source

   fully replaced by gpgsm --gen-key
 * doc/tools.texi: remove gpgsm-gencert.sh documentation
 * .gitignore: no longer ignore gpgsm-gencert.sh manpage
 * doc/Makefile.am: quit making the manpage
 * tools/Makefile.am: quit distributing the script
 * doc/howto-create-a-server-cert.texi: overhaul documentation to use
   gpgsm --gen-key and tweak explanations

The commit deprecating gpgsm-gencert.sh
(81972ca7d5) dates back exactly 6 years.

 https://codesearch.debian.net/results/gpgsm-gencert.sh

suggests that in all of debian it is only referenced in documentation
(for poldi and scute) and example files (libept), and isn't actually
used directly anywhere.

Furthermore, trying to use gpgsm-gencert.sh to make a simple webserver
certificate-signing request failed for me, following the examples in
doc/howto-create-a-server-cert.texi exactly.

It's time we ripped off this band-aid :)
