> Project: serf
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Marius
> Priority: Minor
>
> Expiring certificates makes it difficult to build older versions of Serf
> without manual intervention. This is a big problem for source-based
> distributions and software archaeologists.
> GnuTLS uses [datefudge|https://packages.debian.org/sid/datefudge] to fake the
> system time so the package is reproducible forever.
