Summary: Review Request: bitlbee https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196591 cweyl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |cweyl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------- Additional Comments From cweyl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2006-07-14 17:39 EST ------- This (longish) message during ./configure worries me: --------------------------- No detection code exists for OpenSSL. Make sure that you have a complete install of OpenSSL (including devel/header files) before reporting compilation problems. Also, keep in mind that the OpenSSL is, according to some people, not completely GPL-compatible. Using GnuTLS or NSS is recommended and better supported by us. However, on many BSD machines, OpenSSL can be considered part of the operating system, which makes it GPL-compatible. For more info, see: http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html#LEGAL2 http://www.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html Please note that distributing a BitlBee binary which links to OpenSSL is probably illegal. If you want to create and distribute a binary BitlBee package, you really should use GnuTLS or NSS instead. Also, the OpenSSL license requires us to say this: * "This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project * for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit. (http://www.openssl.org/)" --------------------------- The prototypical casual observer in me asks, "Wouldn't it be better to compile this against gnutls?" If there are compelling reasons to compile against openssl, I suspect FE-LEGAL should be blocked by this bug as well. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
