I think that this bug should be solved quickly. All the proposed workarounds do not work.

make-ssl-cert lacks of a -days option. Hence, it issues a certificate for only one month.
I don't want to chage my servers certificates every month!

The old fashioned way with mod-ssl : http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_faq.html#ToC28 is fairly complicated if you want to issue a slef-signed certificate. Furthermore, there are missing scripts in the actual package (sign.sh for example).

If you find a simple workaroud for issuing a simple sefl-signed certificate valid for one year or more, I'll be very grateful!
