GnuTLS 2.7.12 available in experimental
Yesterday I have uploaded the second release candidate of GnuTLS 2.8
(i.e. version 2.7.12) to experimental. Apart from the
usual shiny new features
there are two changes to the infrastructure.
- libgnutls(-extra)-config and the respective m4 test AM_PATH_LIBGNUTLS
have been removed. This breaks building of any packages relying on these
scripts. Since gnutls ships .pc files, fixing this by switching to
pkg-config is simple. Using
rebuildd I have already
done testbuilds of all packages in sid/main which build-depend on
libgnutls-dev and have submitted bugreports where necessary. Due to the
number of involved packages I have not done that for all binary packages
that link against libgnutls but do not Build-Depend on it. If you are a
maintainer of such a package please make a test build.
- Symbol versioning has changed. libgnutls provides a number of symbols
that are not part of the API but are needed by the "sister" libraries
libgnutls-extra and libgnutls-openssl. These symbols are now versioned
PRIVATE instead of GNUTLS_1_4. This should not break any applications, but
please give your gnutls-using packages a short testrun with the library in
experimental. Thank you.
