--- Begin Message ---Subject: Add gnutls/dane + use it where its needed (gnurl, libmicrohttpd, gnunet) Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2017 09:57:26 +0000 The dependency chain of GNUnet demands GnuTLS with DANE support. You can use it without DANE, but there are certain parts which will not work. DANE is recommended. (ports of FREEBSD uses gnutls-dane for libmicrohttpd aswell for example). The attached patches: - Add 'gnutls/dane' - Use it in - libmicrohttpd - gnurl - gnunet -- ng0 GnuPG: A88C8ADD129828D7EAC02E52E22F9BBFEE348588 GnuPG: https://n0is.noblogs.org/my-keys https://www.infotropique.org https://krosos.org0001-gnu-gnutls-Add-gnutls-dane.patch
