From 75d820de8bfb556f96463f020500fe6884f0568b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tobias Brunner Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2022 17:54:23 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] scepclient: Remove documentation about removal of scepclient There should be no need for such a persistent documentation on a removed component in the repository. The commit history is enough. And besides that, there is user-facing documentation about it in the docs and the changelog/NEWS. --- src/scepclient/README.md | 18 ------------------ 1 file changed, 18 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 src/scepclient/README.md diff --git a/src/scepclient/README.md b/src/scepclient/README.md deleted file mode 100644 index 18526cf11..000000000 --- a/src/scepclient/README.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,18 +0,0 @@ -# ipsec scepclient # - -## Description ## - -The `ipsec scepclient` tool was an early client implementation of the -_Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol_ (SCEP). - -The tool was written in 2005 and only got marginal updates since then.
