We release packages and upload them to PyPI (wheels and source tarballs).

- https://pypi.python.org/pypi/certbot
- https://pypi.python.org/pypi/certbot-apache
- https://pypi.python.org/pypi/certbot-nginx

The following scripts are used in the process:

- https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt/blob/master/tools/release.sh

We currently version with the following scheme:

- ``0.1.0``
- ``0.2.0dev`` for developement in ``master``
- ``0.2.0`` (only temporarily in ``master``)
- ...

Notes for package maintainers
=============================

0. Please use our releases, not ``master``!

1. Do not package ``certbot-compatibility-test`` or ``letshelp-certbot`` - it's only used internally.

2. If you'd like to include automated renewal in your package ``certbot renew -q`` should be added to crontab or systemd timer.

3. ``jws`` is an internal script for ``acme`` module and it doesn't have to be packaged - it's mostly for debugging: you can use it as ``echo foo | jws sign | jws verify``.

4. Do get in touch with us. We are happy to make any changes that will make packaging easier. If you need to apply some patches don't do it downstream - make a PR here.
