Hi Oli,

I am currently working on the batch processor for revoking and renewal.

I have situations were a user re-request a new certificate with changed data during the lifetime. So I must revoke the "old" certificate when I issue an new one. From the "usability" point of view, I want to revoke the old one not prior the successful creation of the new one.

So the question was - if we can create a kind of dependency-logic in the batch system. A process gets a new entry "depends on: ...." and so it is executed only if this depending process is executed successful.

I think that is not such a good idea. It is much easier to change/create the post_proc script which can create a new process to revoke the old certificate. You can import every data you want into the cert process (e.g. OLD_CERT_SERIAL). The post_proc script can use this data to create a revocation process.

I think this way is simpler and cleaner but only an idea ...
