I'm getting this when using certbot: 2016-06-21 06:10:41,322:WARNING:certbot.cli:You are running with an old copy of certbot that does not receive updates, and is less reliable than more recent versions. We recommend upgrading to the latest certbot-auto script, or using native OS packages. Which isn't true as I'm running the latest (0.8.1). Looking at the code it seems like it will complain like this whenever you're not running certbot-auto. Perhaps some patch is needed when it is being packaged as part of a distribution?
Same message here on fedora 24. Crontab is spamming me. Is there a way to make a patch to prevent this?
Created attachment 1171906 [details] Remove deprecation warning Can be applied with patch -p1 < certbot-remove-deprecation-warning.patch
I believe the issue is that the Fedora packaged version has auto-updates disabled (so it will be updated by new RPMs instead) but still has the warning enabled. You can also silence the warning by creating /etc/letsencrypt/cli.ini with the contents no-self-upgrade = True or by passing --no-self-upgrade on the command line.
This message is not indented to be seen when calling "certbot" and is a downstream bug introduced by a string replace when building the package. New packages underway.
