Re: Error/typo on wiki or just cant find what package contains make-cadir?

make-cadir is not provided by upstream: it seems that the script is an addition of the Ubuntu's packager in order "to simplify the use of easy-rsa in Debian". The wiki should be updated.

--edit[0]: for the record, this is the content of the script:

#!/bin/sh

# This script creates a new directory in order to be used
# with the tools from the easy-rsa project.

set -e

usage() {
	echo "Usage: $0 DIRECTORY"
	echo "Creates a *new* directory and prepares it to be used as a (CA) key management directory (to create and store keys and certificates)."
	exit 1
}

[ "$#" -ne 1 ] && usage
[ -e "$1" ] && { echo "$1 exists. Aborting." ; usage ; }

mkdir -p "$1"
chmod 700 "$1"
ln -s /usr/share/easy-rsa/* "$1"
rm -f "$1"/vars "$1"/*.cnf
cp /usr/share/easy-rsa/vars /usr/share/easy-rsa/*.cnf "$1"
