* Package name : hasl Version : 0.1.0 Upstream Contact: Gary Kramlich <g...@reaperworld.com> * URL : https://keep.imfreedom.org/hasl/hasl/ * License : LGPL Programming Lang: C Description : Hassle-free Authentication and Security Layer client library Hasl is SASL client library that is designed to be easy to use and integrate well with GLib based applications. This package was developed for the still in development Pidgin 3, but due to a licensing conflict in Pidgin 2 with Cyrus-SASL #1036113 we decided to pull this library in early so that we can port Pidgin 2 to it to correct the license conflict. This library is different than both Cyrus-SASL and GNU SASL in a number of ways. Most importantly it is only focused on client implementations. It tries to make it very easy for developers to use by keeping track of which SASL mechanism have been attempted and removing them from the list and other niceties like that. I had a sponsor many years ago (Mathieu Malaterre) when I did the ITP for ninja-build #683333. But for this package I've been working with Richard Laager who is the current Debian maintainer for all things related to Pidgin. Also I have the packaging already built and it is Lintian clean.
