Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-python (Nobody) <python@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 269427: security/py-certbot: enabling the periodic timer by default https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D269427 --- Description --- I am writing to find out whether it would be possible to have Certbot's ren= ewal periodic script (https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/security/py-certbot/files/500.certbot.= in) be enabled by default upon installation of the package. Currently, the weekly_certbot_enable needs to be set, after installation of= the security/py-certbot package. In the Certbot project, we suggest to packagers that `certbot renew -q` be = run often, as it will be a no-op if no certificate renewals are due. In our fir= st party packages and in a number of Linux distros, this is twice daily. These scheduled tasks are enabled by default, which is our preference upstream. My feeling is that Certbot users would expect renewals to happen automatica= lly, as it is the primary purpose of the tool. The extra step to enable the peri= odic script on FreeBSD is something that users may not be expecting or not know about (e.g. https://github.com/certbot/website/issues/784). I'm not familiar with FreeBSD packaging policies around periodic scripts, w= ould something like this change be acceptable for the py-certbot package? Thank you, Alex
