For [2], you could define a 'gnutls+p11-kit' and use that in libcacard for now, instead of having to wait N months for the branch to start rolling (during which time things may change in libcacard or GnuTLS). > There's also updating Ruby to 2.7 which can at least be considered for > core-updates, I've seen some 2.7 incompatibilities in various Ruby > libraries, but it's worth looking at. Maybe we should have a 'package-with-ruby27' procedure, similar to 'package-with-python2'? Then we don't need to wait for core-updates to try this either. :-) > The above patches could do with a bit more review, but is there any > formalities in terms of getting core-updates going again? The job specification needs to be re-added on Cuirass, but other than that it should be "safe to push".
