Comment 2 Stephen Wadeley 2015-10-12 19:58:13 UTC

Hello

maybe a typo, I do not see crypto-tools only crypto-utils.


On my Fedora 22 Workstation :

~]# dnf provides crypto-utils
Last metadata expiration check performed 0:03:43 ago on Mon Oct 12 21:46:43 2015.
crypto-utils-2.4.1-57.fc22.x86_64 : SSL certificate and key management utilities
Repo        : @System

crypto-utils-2.4.1-57.fc22.x86_64 : SSL certificate and key management utilities
Repo        : fedora

So that suggests it is available in Fedora 22.

==========

On a Fedora 23 VM:

~]$ dnf provides crypto-utils
Last metadata expiration check performed 0:00:44 ago on Mon Oct 12 21:52:25 2015.
crypto-utils-2.4.1-59.fc23.x86_64 : SSL certificate and key management utilities
Repo        : fedora

So that suggests it is available in Fedora 23


=============


I see doc has been updated in master branch

836f8868 (Stephen Wadeley  2015-05-26 22:16:05 +0200 4028)       <screen>~]#&nbsp;<command>dnf install crypto-utils</command></screen>

=========


Please run: dnf provides crypto-utils
or just: dnf install crypto-utils

then: man genkey {as a test}

Thank you

Hello

Have you had chance to test as per comment 2?

Thank you

Comment 4 pgaltieri 2015-10-22 23:59:25 UTC

Yes the crypto-utils package installs and works, but the bug is against the online documentation.  So until that is fixed and made available this bug should still remain open.

Comment 5 Stephen Wadeley 2015-10-23 07:06:44 UTC

Hello

Re:

9.1.7.4. Generating a New Key and Certificate
In order to generate a new key and certificate pair, the crypto-utils package must be installed on the system. To install it, enter the following command as root:

~]# yum install crypto-utils


----------

I acknowledge "yum" is out of date, as per comment 2, the change has been made, I just need to get the guide republished. There was some delay at the time as the guide was being translated.

---------------------


Thank you

Comment 6 Stephen Wadeley 2015-11-05 11:05:21 UTC

Hello

I will close this now as the Fedora 23 version in now published.


Thank you
