Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-01-10 17:58:41 UTC
net-libs/gnutls-2.7.4 was released on 2009-01-07.
It should be package.masked due to Bug #253709.


** gnutls: deprecate X.509 validation chains using MD5 and MD2 signatures.
This is a bugfix -- the previous attempt to do this from internal x509
certificate verification procedures did not return the correct value
for certificates using a weak hash.  Reported by Daniel Kahn Gillmor
<dkg@fifthhorseman.net> in
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3332>,
debugged and patch by Tomas Mraz <tmraz@redhat.com> and Daniel Kahn
Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net>.

** gnutls: New interface to get key id for certificate requests.
Patch from David Marín Carreño <davefx@gmail.com> in
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3321>.

** gnutls: gnutls_x509_crq_print will now also print public key id.

** certtool: --verify-chain now prints results of using library verification.
Earlier, certtool --verify-chain used its own validation algorithm
which wasn't guaranteed to give the same result as the libgnutls
internal validation algorithm.  Now this command print a new final
line with header 'Chain verification output:' that contains the result
From using the internal verification algorithm on the same chain.

** tests: Add crq_key_id self-test of gnutls_x509_crq_get_key_id.

** API and ABI modifications:
gnutls_x509_crq_get_key_id: ADDED.

added masked.

This still has a problem with USE=-cxx. it wasn't just a simple port port from 2.6.0. upstream bug http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?106542 if you get a patch before me.
