This package links against libgcrypt. Afaict the only gcrypt related
code is this one:
---------------------------
if defined(HAVE_GNUTLS)
#include <gnutls/openssl.h>
#include <gcrypt.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#define MD5Init MD5_Init
#define MD5Update MD5_Update
#define MD5Final MD5_Final
GCRY_THREAD_OPTION_PTHREAD_IMPL;
#else
[...]
#ifdef HAVE_GNUTLS
gcry_control (GCRYCTL_SET_THREAD_CBS, &gcry_threads_pthread);
gnutls_global_init();
SSL_load_error_strings();
SSL_library_init();
---------------------------
Starting with gnutls version 2.12. this should not be necessary
anymore. Quoting its NEWS:
------------------------------
** libgnutls: Added gnutls_global_set_mutex() to allow setting
alternative locking procedures. By default the system available
locking is used. In *NIX pthreads are used and in windows the
critical section API. This follows a different approach than the
previous versions that depended on libgcrypt initialization. The
locks are now set by default in systems that support it. Programs
that used gcry_control() to set thread locks should insert it into
a block of
#if GNUTLS_VERSION_NUMBER <= 0x020b00
gcry_control(...)
#endif
------------------------------
Of course the configure script will also need to changed to only
search for and link against gcrypt if gnutls is << 2.12.
gnutls 3.0.0 uses nettle instead of gcrypt as crypto backend and
therefore losing unnecessary libgcrypt11 dependencies would be nice.
