Re: Certbot in Buster



According to 'rmadison certbot' a newer version is only available in
testing and unstable, but not in buster-backports:

Oh my mistake

I presume you did this via direct e-mail only.

exactly... from packages.debian.org :)
Preferably you should be using <package-name>@packages.debian.org as
this might reach more people (e.g. others interested in the package),
just in case the Maintainer won't provide a backport or is unresponsive.

I have done this. Many Thanks!

I hope there will be a backports.


If not:

can i install the package from unstable and after that i remove the entry in sourses.list?
or is this risky?

If the package in stable is still usable afterwards (even if with
reduced functionality) this looks like a case for backports.

     certbot    | 0.28.0-1~bpo9+1 | stretch-backports | all

     certbot    | 1.8.0-1         | unstable          | all


I have allready ask the Maintainer to update the certbot package but no answer.

What can i do?

Write an e-mail to debian-backports with Cc: the package Maintainer
asking nicely for a backport.

Preferably you should be using <package-name>@packages.debian.org as
this might reach more people (e.g. others interested in the package),
just in case the Maintainer won't provide a backport or is unresponsive.

Kind regards,
Andrei
