Sorry, my email went out-of-order for the past 7 days. I would've sent an explanation to the patch otherwise. Let me comment inline.

The problem I'm trying to address is the same horror story we have with cURL: We need to be able to reference a certificate store. So far no one in 2+ years fixed this in our cURL to my best knowledge, so my idea as a maintainer of gnURL was to simply apply this to gnURL because someone in GNUnet reported errors with regards to gnURL not finding the certificates with a recent build of gnURL. I though I had this fixed a while ago, but apparently I didn't. I'm more than open to better fixes (we could also set the expected environment variable). > I guess we want to be able to to change what certificates that gnurl > accepts without rebulding the package, but I think we need something to > provide that file when building the package in the first place, or What you seem to want is the env. variable solution. > disable the relelvant tests. > > For reference the build error I'm seeing is > ========================== > test 0324...[TLS-SRP with server cert checking] > > curl returned 77, when expecting 51 > exit FAILED > > - abort tests > > ========================= Wild. For what it's worth, I built this before I've sent a patch and it passed all of its relevant testsuites. I didn't get this error. > From the curl man page, exit code 77 means "Problem with reading the SSL > CA cert (path? access rights?)." May I ask what system you are building on? I have a GuixSD-only setup here. Next time I'll wait for the CI to finish building (Debian based). I'm in the middle of releasing gnURL 7.58.0 and preparing for a test that I have tomorrow, followed by some social appointments afterwards, so I'll be able to start working on a real fix on the weekend. In the meantime you could send a patch to revert my commit. -- ng0 :: https://ea.n0.is A88C8ADD129828D7EAC02E52E22F9BBFEE348588 :: https://ea.n0.is/keys/
