You are probably right that gnutls is picked up first or prefered over openssl during the build process, but since configure --help claims that both are enabled by default: --with-gnutls use gnutls library if installed. Default: yes --with-openssl use openssl library if installed. Default: yes and you didn't explicitely disable openssl linkage in your debian/rules, then, you might end up having a bit of 'moving sands' on some polluted build environments, if openssl if found in say /usr/local/ or something and got considered by incident. Thus I'd recommend you to disable it explicitely (--without-openssl), and pass --with-gnutls instead to set your course straight. Note, however, that a GPL work could link with openssl if the authors of that very same GPL'ed work provide so called `openssl exception' (query google or wikipedia about that). You might want to ping upstream to clarify that in their readme/install docs. If the work is licensed under LGPL instead, such openssl exception is not needed. -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB 2003-03-18 <people.fccf.net/danchev/key pgp.mit.edu> fingerprint 1AE7 7C66 0A26 5BFF DF22 5D55 1C57 0C89 0E4B D0AB -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
