# CAcert signer client

This is the CAcert signer client implementation that sends commands to the signer and handles certificate
revocation lists (CRLs), OpenPGP public key signatures and X.509 certificates.

## Development preconditions

You will need GNU make to build the application. On Debian systems you can install GNU make using:

```shell
sudo apt install make
```

Install [go](https://go.dev/) >= 1.17, [golangci-lint](https://golangci-lint.run/usage/install/) >= 1.50.0 and
[goreleaser](https://goreleaser.com/install/), as these are used for building and linting the application.

Read the documentation of these tools, to find out how to use them.

## Building the binary

There is a `Makefile` to build the signerclient binary. Run

```shell
make
```

to run linting, tests and binary builds.
