Description Nick Bebout 2021-07-26 22:56:54 UTC
* Does the service require post-rpm-installation configuration in order to be useful (for example, does it need manual edits to a configuration file)?
The certbot-renew.timer will run OK even if no certificates have been previously requested (it will just do nothing).  

* Does the service listen on a network socket for connections originating on a separate physical or virtual machine?
no

* Is the service non-persistent (i.e. run once at startup and exit)?
It is a timer that runs every 12 hours to renew any certificates needing renewal

* What is the exact name (or names) of the systemd unit files to be enabled?
certbot-renew.timer

* Is this request for all Fedora deliverables or only for some Editions (list them)?
all EPEL releases

Fixed in commit 50e24524a993831fbcdcf7b025a98b82e8aeb44b

I want to wait a tiny bit before building/pushing though, to try and get another change in.

Comment 2 Kevin Fenzi 2021-09-02 23:26:49 UTC
Sorry this has languished. I'll press on those other changes and try and get something thru this weekend one way or another.

Comment 3 Felix Schwarz 2021-09-03 06:39:47 UTC
Kevin: Would you mind pushing certbot-1.18.0-2.el8 together with epel-release?

The certbot packages uses a setting which (mostly) makes sense if the timer was enabled automatically by the distro. AFAIK getting this certbot version without a preconfigured timer might lead to somewhat misleading error messages in edge cases. So nothing really bad but having both updates together would lead to a better user experience.

For me personally it would be nice to get this done as this upstream ticket is on my plate for too long :-)
