# Overview
|
|
|
|
easy-rsa is a CLI utility to build and manage a PKI CA. In laymen's terms,
|
|
this means to create a root certificate authority, and request and sign
|
|
certificates, including intermediate CAs and certificate revocation lists (CRL).
|
|
|
|
# Downloads
|
|
|
|
If you are looking for release downloads, please see the releases section on
|
|
GitHub. Releases are also available as source checkouts using named tags.

For 3.x project documentation and usage, see the [README.quickstart.md](README.quickstart.md) file or
|
|
the more detailed docs under the doc/ directory. The .md files are in Markdown
|
|
format and can be converted to html files as desired for release packages, or

# Getting help using easy-rsa
|
|
|
|
Currently, Easy-RSA development co-exists with OpenVPN even though they are
|
|
separate projects. The following resources are good places as of this writing to
|
|
seek help using Easy-RSA:
|
|
|
|
The [openvpn-users mailing list](https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users)
|
|
is a good place to post usage or help questions.
|
|
|
|
You can also try IRC at Freenode/#openvpn for general support or Freenode/#easyrsa for development discussion.

# Branch structure
|
|
|
|
The easy-rsa master branch is currently tracking development for the 3.x release
|
|
cycle. Please note that, at any given time, master may be broken. Feel free to
|
|
create issues against master, but have patience when using the master branch. It
|
|
is recommended to use a release, and priority will be given to bugs identified in
|
|
the most recent release.
|
|
|
|
The prior 2.x and 1.x versions are available as release branches for
|
|
tracking and possible back-porting of relevant fixes. Branch layout is:
|
|
|
|
master <- 3.x, at present
|
|
v3.x.x pre-release branches, used for staging branches
|
|
release/2.x
|
|
release/1.x
|
|
|
|
LICENSING info for 3.x is in the [COPYING.md](COPYING.md) file
