gnoMint - A Certification Authority Software using GTK libraries.

Documentation
-------------

The full user manual, install guide, tutorial, and feature reference
are published as a GitHub Pages site:

    https://davefx.github.io/gnomint

The Markdown source for the same content lives under docs/ in this
repository, so you can also read it offline:

    docs/index.md            Landing page
    docs/install.md          Install guide (packages + source build)
    docs/manual.md           Task-oriented user manual
    docs/tutorial.md         Worked example: small-firm CA with OpenVPN
    docs/features.md         Feature overview
    docs/releases.md         Release history since 2006

The legacy site at gnomint.sourceforge.net is no longer maintained;
its content has been archived into the docs/ tree above.

Quick start
-----------

    ./autogen.sh        # only after a fresh clone / when configure.ac changes
    ./configure
    make
    sudo make install
    gnomint &           # GUI
    gnomint-cli         # readline shell

See docs/install.md for the full dependency list.

Two binaries
------------

The build produces two binaries from a shared source tree:

    gnomint       The GTK 3 desktop application.
    gnomint-cli   A readline CLI with the same capabilities. Use it
                  in cron jobs, CI pipelines, and anywhere a script
                  is more convenient than clicking.

Year 2038 (Y2K38) Support
-------------------------

gnoMint is designed to handle certificates with expiration dates beyond
January 19, 2038 (the Year 2038 problem). The application uses 64-bit
time_t values to ensure proper handling of dates far into the future.

The following measures have been implemented:
- Compile-time flags (_TIME_BITS=64, _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64) to ensure
  64-bit time_t even on 32-bit systems
- Static assertions to verify time_t is 64-bit at compile time
- Support for certificate expiration dates well beyond 2038

This ensures gnoMint can safely create and manage certificates with
validity periods extending decades into the future.
