[Cryptography-dev] pyOpenSSL CRL chaining

Hi all,

WIth the recent changes made to enable CRL in verify context objects (see
here https://github.com/pyca/pyopenssl/pull/483) I would like to know some
further functionality. In particular, if this API supports CRL chaining
and/or CRL concatenation. Would a CRL need to contain a full chain of
issuing intermediate CA's and the issuing root CA? Also when we create an
X509Store object we add the certificate in question using add_cert() but
when we use it to verify in the X509StoreContext, must we use the same
certificate? It seems slightly confusing given the lack of documentation. I
am basing most of my assumptions on the unit tests that were merged in.

Regards,
Ansley
