Judging from the long list of exim4 bugs, especially #446036, I find myself between a rock and a hard place, and having to choose between staying with GnuTLS and accepting a probably continuing flow of technical issues, or moving over to OpenSSL, setting an example against GNU software, and probably generating a new flow of license issues.
Continue reading "exim4 vs. OpenSSL vs. GnuTLS"exim4, sarge's default MTA, uses gnutls for the obvious license reasons. However, gnutls does seem to have issues of interoperability, which have manifested themselves in a list of bugs, most prominently being #297174, which we are at a loss to debug.
Neither Andreas nor me have the knowhow to debug gnutls, and Upstream uses openssl - the gnutls patch was contributed and the author of the original patch doesn't seem to be around any more.
Can anybody help?
