#9800 Retire/Block manuale in dist-git master and f33
Closed: Fixed 3 years ago by pingou. Opened 3 years ago by tadej.

Manuale upstream has been deprecated and archived since Oct 10, 2019:
https://github.com/veeti/manuale/commit/7693a4928260c7aa22adf189ea50846a47ae2f65

As is mentioned in the deprecation notice:
"This project is deprecated. The ACMEv1 API will be shut down soon."

The following dates are given in Let's Encrypt's End of Life Plan for ACMEv1:

  • In June of 2020 we will stop allowing new domains to validate via ACMEv1.

  • Starting at the beginning of 2021 we will occasionally disable ACMEv1 issuance and renewal for periods of 24 hours, no more than once per month (OCSP service will not be affected). The intention is to induce client errors that might encourage subscribers to update to clients or configurations that use ACMEv2. Renewal failures should be limited since new domain validations will already be disabled and we recommend renewing certificates 30 days before they expire.

  • In June of 2021 we will entirely disable ACMEv1 as a viable way to get a Let’s Encrypt certificate.

Given that Fedora 33 will be released in Oct/Nov 2020 and supported for ~13 months, it would we wise to retire and remove manuale from it to avoid user confusion and bug reports.

  • When do you need this?

    ASAP. The maintainer (Veeti Paananen) agreed that this should be done and said he doesn't have fedpkg tool installed and asked me to do this in his name.

  • When is this no longer needed or useful?

    After Fedora 33 is final.

  • If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact?

    Fedora 33 will have a unmainted tool in its repository that will be broken because it won't work with the Let's Encrypt service anymore.

    And this is the tool's single purpuse, to obtain an SSL certificate from the Let's Encrypt service.
