Is there a chance this could be something we help them do? Not providing decryption capabilities is a little painful. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

All rights reserved. ** ** This copyrighted material is made available to anyone wishing to use, ** modify, copy, or redistribute it subject to the terms and conditions ** of the GNU General Public License v.2. * ----------------------------------------------------------------------- */ It does seem to be only defines though, so I don't think that it should be a problem for the overall license of wireshark (which is GPL-2.0+). According to the FSF published license compatibility matrix: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AllCompatibility the combination of a GPL-2.0+ project which uses a LGPL-3.0 library would need to be licensed under the GPL-3.0 as "Because GPLv2 does not permit combinations with LGPLv3, you must convey the project under GPLv3's terms in this case, since it will allow that combination." This seems to be the conclusion arrived at by Joerg Mayer in the message to the wireshark mailing list. As Joerg pointed out, a determination that gnutls is a 'system library' would mean that the GPL-2.0+ licensed wireshark could link against it without invoking the copyleft effect. I am not aware, however, of comprehensive guidance from the FSF as to what would be considered a system library in any specific case. It is certainly arguable that a cryptographic library of the scope and usefulness of gnutls could be considered fundamental enough to be a system library (indeed, the question could be posed, "if gnutls is _not_ determined to be a system library, what _could_ be a system library"). I think the issue is important enough to talk to the FSF about. I'll see if I can get a response from our existing contacts there. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It'd be really useful to have this functionality back, but in the meantime other methods must be found and they are pretty painful.

Check OpenSUSE 12.1 to 12.3, gnutls is 3.0.x, could we update gnutls to 3.1.10+? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I think we can merge wireshark upstream update of the gnutls check section (r48759), with that patch, update gnutls to a higher version can solve this issue.
