Hi all, I have a script accessing an old svn server whom SSL certificate have expired a long time ago. Up to now, I was permanently accepting the certificate on the first run of the script and then everything was sailling smooth. I reinstalled a couple of months ago a new box where this script was intented to run and the (p)ermanently option seems not provided anymore.
Thankfully, I still have the "old" running box to double-check, and the (p)ermanently option is still present. Both boxes are Debian Buster (but was installed as unstable, before the official release). The (p)ermanently option was also present in svn on previous versions of Debian. I can notice that the versions of svn changed between my old and new box from 1.10.2 to 1.10.4. Nonetheless, I gave a look at the change-log [1] and it doesn't seem specified this option has been removed. I also gave a look on openssl version and it went upgraded from 1.1.0h to 1.1.1b, but I have no clue to evaluate if the removal of the (p)ermanently option is linked or not the openssl upgrade. If some of you have an hint and an half to explain how and why this option disapeared, that would be really nice. I wonder if it was meant or not, to see where I'm headed. More over, I would really appreciate if someone could share a solution to still permanently accept the certificate on the new box, as for now, I can't use this box and the old one should soon be decommissioned.
