I'm aware of that discussion, thanks :) > GnuTLS 28 is GPLv3 only, and if python-gnutls is rebuild against 28, > then all reverse-dependencies must be compatible with GPLv3. which reverse dependencies are you concerned about? the only reverse dependency i see in debian right now is mandos, which is already GPLv3+ http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/m/mandos/unstable_copyright So i don't think this is a problem for python-gnutls in debian. Are there other reverse dependencies we need to be aware of? > I think this might be a won't-fix, and alternatively we may need/want > to provide python-gnutls28 package or similar. This would require that someone maintains libgnutls26 for the indefinite future. Who is going to do that work? --dkg
