Hello, As the ABI broke anyway in 3.0, would it make sense to merge the nettle and hogweed libraries? Hogweed cannot be used without linking to libnettle, thus the advantage of the current split is only to applications that only use libnettle. Nevertheless, I don't think there are such applications. My guess is that the ones that simply need sha1, would avoid linking to nettle and just copy the algorithms they need internally. In any embedded system using nettle+hogweed would require more memory and overhead than having a single library. That is of course not a very significant overhead, but it harms the actual programs it targets to help. regards, Nikos _______________________________________________ nettle-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lysator.liu.se/mailman/listinfo/nettle-bugs
