Dear Relying parties, CAs, and Others,
Although the previous release of the distribution of the EUGridPMA
Accredited Authorities was quite recent, we are forced to issue a new
release that includes a new root certificate for the Spanish DataGrid CA
(DataGrid-ES, whose alias is "Spain").
The new distribution (version 0.25) is now available from the EUGridPMA
repository, including new sources and meta-RPMs. You can update at your
convenience, but if you are relying on certificates issued by DataGrid-ES
you should upgrade before November 12. See:
http://www.eugridpma.org/distribution/current/
Also I would like to remind you that relying parties and any others
interested can subscribe ot the announce(a)eugridpma.org mailing list
(low traffic) via the web site at http://www.eugridpma.org/
Regards,
David Groep.

Note that the updated LIP CA will start issuing certs from the
new root CA quite soon.
