Officialize PPA

Server
1

There are an open issue of 2015,

but 5 days ago a link to a supposed “certbot team” (with no post in the issue discussion) shows a PPA!

  • it is secure, reliable… And will be officially updated?

  • why not closed the issue? … and why “nobody official” say something?

  • about instructions certbot.eff.org (eg. #ubuntuxenial-apache), need to change for the standard apt procedure reccomendation.

NOTES

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot
sudo apt-get update
apt install certbot

According to this post on Github, it was already around on Nov 9th 2016. :wink:

I just updated the GitHub issue you linked above, but to answer your questions:

it is secure, reliable... And will be officially updated?

Yes. It is maintained by two very experienced Debian developers working with the Certbot team.

why not closed the issue? .. and why "nobody official" say something?

I wanted both Debian developers to sign off on the PPA before we started shouting about it. I got a +1 from the other developer this morning and closed the issue.

about instructions certbot.eff.org (eg. #ubuntuxenial-apache), need to change for the standard apt procedure reccomendation.

With the +1, I created Tell people about our PPA · Issue #198 · certbot/website · GitHub and I'll make sure the Certbot website is updated soon.

Nice! I’ll keep that in mind for future questions about the PPA.
