Description John Dennis 2018-12-13 16:20:50 UTC 
The certifi patch to use the system certs uses this pathname:

/etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/pem/tls-ca-bundle.pem

Anything under /etc/pki/ca-trust is "private" for use by the ca-trust subsystem as a ca-trust implementation detail. The ca-trust subsystem is free to change it's implementation because the "public" access to the certs is accessed through the (Red Hat) standardized /etc/pki/tls/certs directory via symlinks. Likewise the symlinks provide freedom to have a package other than ca-trust manage system certs.

FYI, the python-requests patch correctly points to:

/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt

This is documented in the update-ca-certs man page.

Granted, it is true that currently /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt is symlinked to /etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/pem/tls-ca-bundle.pem but that is meant to provide an abstraction for system certs much like how the alternatives package works or how we symlink major versions of the python interpreter to explicit versions.

where() should return /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt

The variable f is no longer referenced and it is meaningless to call os.path.join() with a single argument. The original patch should have just removed that code.

Comment 8 Petr Viktorin 2019-01-03 17:05:25 UTC 
A BuildRequires for the old path still remains in the spec file:

# Force requeriments to this file provides vi the ca-certificates
# any change to this file path will make the build file and avoid
# a broken symlink in the rpm.
BuildRequires:  /etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/pem/tls-ca-bundle.pem

IMO that should be changed to:

# Require the system certificate bundle (/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt)
BuildRequires: ca-certificates
