---------------------------------------------------------------
Bert, this would be effective if this compile flag is not overridden by the
user by some means. At least on FreeBSD serf is compiled without that but
{{ca_root_nss}} is available. This is bad user experience. One should have to
configure as little as possible. I have noticed this when we lately refreshed
our server certificate.
E.g., curl works out of the box on our FreeBSD and RHEL machines because at
compile-time the default CA bundle is passed.
This option is solely interesting for OS/distro maintainers and admins. Not
really users, they still can stick to the higher level conf and override it.

> Key: SERF-179
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SERF-179
> Project: serf
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: serf-1.3.8
> Reporter: Michael Osipov
>
> Currently, libserf does not provide an option to supply a PEM bundle with
> CAs. Subversion always nags whether the target host can be trusted. This is
> annoying and can be automated.
> Add three options supported by OpenSSL natively:
> * {{scons CAFILE=/path/to/ca.pem}}
> * {{scons CAPATH=/path/to/directory-with-pems}}
> * {{scons CAFALLBACK=yes}}
> Three defines can be added then: {{SERF_CA_BUNDLE}}, {{SERF_CA_PATH}} and
> {{SERF_CA_FALLBACK}}. This can be safely fed into
> {{SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3)}} and
> {{SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_paths(3)}}. [OpenSSL
> reference|https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/ssl/SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations.html].
> This idea has freely been taken from {{libcurl}} which does this exactly.
