Subject: bug#46779: GnuTLS uses the hard-coded /etc/ssl/certs location for TLS certificates
Date: Mon, 01 Mar 2021 10:54:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87y2f7td00.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87im6f9aq2.fsf@gmail.com> (Maxim Cournoyer's message of "Thu, 25 Feb 2021 15:03:01 -0500")

Hi,

Maxim Cournoyer <maxim.cournoyer@gmail.com> skribis:

Note that (1) the SSL_* variables are originally from OpenSSL, and (2)
GnuTLS developers made the conscious decision to not honor any
environment variable, leaving it up to application developers to do
that.

That’s the reason we are in this situation.  See the thread at
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2014-02/msg00237.html>.

Now, I agree it’s inconvenient for those applications that don’t do
anything.  Perhaps we should check if it’s reasonable to report it
upstream when we encounter such issues, or if there’s just too many of
them?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
