== Task ==
Remove the following SPKGs:
* python_gnutls
* gnutls
* opencdk
* libgcrypt
* libgpg_error
Also:
* no longer ship pyOpenSSL with sagenb (this will be taken care of in
#13121)
* no longer require OpenSSL dev headers in prereq
== Rationale ==
Read the above linked thread, but basically, `notebook(secure=True)` is
rarely used, and is not even really that desirable to use, except for
people setting up multiuser Sage servers, which is a small percentage of
Sage users. Therefore we will require users who want to use
`notebook(secure=True)` to perform the additional step of installing
pyOpenSSL into Sage's Python. This allows us to get rid of our sort of
problematic dependencies on OpenSSL.
Furthermore, as I understand it, our switching to OpenSSL had already made
GNUTLS useless in Sage when we started shipping the Flask notebook (Sage
5.2), so we can get rid of GNUTLS and related SPKGs at the same time.
----
Apply:
- [attachment:trac_13385-root.patch] and [attachment:trac_13385-root-
doc.v2.patch] to the root repo
- [attachment:trac_13385-sage-library.patch] to the Sage library
Copy http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/palmieri/SPKG/prereq-1.1.tar.gz
to spkg/base.
Still to come: new sagenb spkg (at #13121).

Comment (by jhpalmieri):
Here's some documentation for README.txt (the "v2" patch). If it's okay,
we can add something similar to the installation guide.
