Why there's no Debian 13 package for OVH DNS

Help

Continuing the discussion from Python3-certbot-dns-ovh missing in debian 13:

I found out today that python3-certbot-dns-ovh is not available for Debian Trixie (13), while it was available for Bookworm (12) and will be available for Forky (14)

Any idea why? Who maintains that plugin? If possible I would prefer to install via apt instead of pip directly (and forget about snaps).

These are probably better questions for the EFF team as they develop Certbot. See: GitHub - certbot/certbot: Certbot is EFF's tool to obtain certs from Let's Encrypt and (optionally) auto-enable HTTPS on your server. It can also act as a client for any other CA that uses the ACME protocol.

The EFF generally recommends using snap so can stay current with their updates. Historically the o/s packagers haven't kept Certbot up to date.

Some web servers have an ACME Client built-in. Perhaps you could switch to one of those if they support your DNS challenge. Or, of course, look to use a different stand-alone ACME Client. The lego client has support for many different DNS systems. GitHub - go-acme/lego: Let's Encrypt/ACME client and library written in Go
