Hi,

The certbot upstream includes a certbot(7) man page.  At present this
is not included in the Debian package.  It would be helpful to have it
included.

Hi Karl,

I'm interested in what you're looking for that's in the certbot.7
manpage.  Most of that information is either duplicated in the
certbot.1 manpage, or is really for plugin developers rather than
actual users.

Sincerely,

Hi Harlan,

I did just pester the certbot people into including that
in certbot(1).  But it has been helpful in the past
to know more about the protocol and details about choices,
whether for validation or whatever.

I don't find the writing in certbot(1) to always be entirely
clear or comprehensive.
(Some recent critique of random bits regarding webroot at:
https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/please-document-the-webroot-well-known-request-path/191024/9
)  It can be helpful to have prose to look at and disk is
cheap.

Thanks for the interest.

Regards,
