Maybe the package could contain a little bit of documentation explaining this. The package description merely says that some CRLs would be fetched periodically. To me it indeed looked like the package would come with sane defaults. Indeed having a package which - after installation - would just keep ssl revocations recent for web browsers would be a great addition. Such a package should imho be recommended by ca-certificates. As far as I understand it now fetch-crl aims to be something slightly different. > Yes, If there are no *.crl_url files in the directory configured > in /etc/fetch-crl.conf (by default /etc/grid-security/certificates), > there is nothing for the cronjob to do and hence it does nothing as > expected. This is not a bug, but the intended behaviour. Uhm, so if the package does not work without prior configuration, the cron job should be disabled by default. Since it does nothing useful prior to being configured, it should simply not be run. Helmut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
