If you are referring to the perl-ldap and Convert-ASN1 modules, them
should not be there and I have stripped off the openca-0.8 cvs dir.

The cvs is divided for each 'separate' module. Indeed you can import and
work on any part of the project (X509, CRL, etc... ) without having to
import the full cvs tree.

This is a good point... we could use the original openca cvs tree for
the openca-0.9 ... I don't see any problems with this... we than will
have to import changes from the openca-0.8 version to the openca
dir and start workin on that...
I think this SHOULD be done, Michael ???

My plan is to work on the 0.8 branch for the next release while continuing
development on the main openca branch. Then adding 0.8 changes to the
main openca branch.
The 0.8 branch was needed because som changes where ready for cvs integration
while them were not intended for the 0.8 release ... but I agree with you
that 0.9 development should be continued in the main openca branch.
