Sorry, I mispoke slightly, I meant simple in terms of there certificate requirements. That is happy just with a certificate in /etc/ssl/certs and a key in /etc/ssl/private. Then it is very simple to do this. And hopefully it is not too much more difficult for the packages that require more than this (e.g. ftpd-ssl that required the cert and key to be the same file, which should be easily possible with or without debhelper). > This is perfectly fine, as long as there is a man page for > make-ssl-cert. http://jameswestby.net/bzr/ssl-cert2/make-ssl-cert2.8 Requires a little tweaking, but then again so does the entire package. I guess I must apologise for empasising the debhelper script in this, all it dees is write the post{inst,rm} snippets for the maintainer. And it is obviously possible for the maintainer to do this themselves. Maybe I shouldn't have included the advantages to the package maintainer comment in my summary. This is not the aim of the package, the aim is to give the sysadmin more control and flexibilty about how to handle this stuff, the benefits to the packager are just a result of using a central system. Obviously the maintainers are free to ignore this package completely, but I hope it will be used as they will be able to see the benifits it gives to the users. I guess I should be happy that no-one has pointed out any flaws in my design, or said that they do not wish to use the system. Then again this might just mean that most people have ignored this thread.
