1057128 - generate_certs.sh shouldn't clobber existing certs that don't need to change

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Security: PSM, defect)

Description

[Dana Keeler (she/her) [:keeler]]

See bug 1034124 comment 9 and bug 1009161 comment 18, wherein it is pointed out that additions to generate_certs.sh that involve things like adding tests shouldn't affect other tests like pinning (if everything gets regenerated, then the key hash for the pinning tests need to be updated, which involves re-generating the built-in key pinning data, which is unnecessary).

Richard, do you have time to review this? Thanks. (This is the script that generates certificates for our tlsserver-involved xpcshell tests, if you weren't already familiar with it.)

Might be slightly clearer to reorder as

> if [...]; then CLOBBER=1

Should there be a message here (as below) to let the user know that old stuff is persisting?
