Barring other solutions, yes. But I hope there is a solution: libgnutls has an OpenSSL compatibility mode. I don't know if it provides all the features that Bacula requires; in my software it was easy to add a configure-time choice between the two. Since gnutls is licensed under LGPLv2.1+ and GPLv2+ (varying by component), there should be no license concerns when using it with other GPLed code. Having already put my foot in this mess, I will try that out with the goal of producing patches this weekend, unless Kern, John or someone else prefers to investigate for themselves. I may miss some run-time cases (I don't currently use Bacula), but hopefully the input is useful to Kern and to Debian. Further discussion of that is a bit off-topic for -legal; I can post questions to bacula-devel and patches to SourceForge. John, should I post the patches somewhere for your (or other maintainers') benefit? Michael Poole -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
