  Description     : Freenom DNS01 plugin for certbot

certbot-dns-freenom is a certbot DNS plugin used to obtain certificates
with Freenom DNS.

I am packaging this because I have domains on Freeenom and I use certbot
for certificates. My internet service provider has blocked port 80, so I
cannot prove my ownership of the domain using a normal HTTP challenge.
This software was the only way that I was able to obtain a certificate
for my Freenom domains using only a DNS challenge.
I will be maintaining this package inside the Python team.

I don't use Freenom anymore, so I'm not interested in this package now.
If anyone is, my existing work is available at [1] for anyone to pick
up. Note that Freenom users can simply use the standard ACME DNS setup
now that Freenom doesn't bug out setting the DNS record for it, so this
hook is pretty much obsolete.
