[opensuse-factory] Why separate dirs for: /etc/apache2/ssl.crl ssl.crt ssl.csr ssl.key ssl.prm?
Devs,
Posted to user list but Per and I are still scratching our heads. (well, I don't know if he's scratching, but I am...)
Why does opensuse use separate directories under /etc/apache2 for ssl.crl ssl.crt ssl.csr ssl.key ssl.prm? Why is that any better than say putting all the certs in /etc/apache2/sslcerts?
After all, the dirs are just option in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vhost-ssl.conf, example:
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/server.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl.key/server.key
so why have 5 directories if 1 will do?

As was stated on the users list already, this is upstream default, and there's no reason for openSUSE to deviate from this.
