Hmm, I notice that gnutls is used as a shared library in many applications that it might be non-trivial to update if the .so version is bumped because it will require a lot of rebuilds.
That's why it is difficult for users to upgrade this package. I try to remove Gnutls and that will remove 299 packages that depend on it as well.
Does anyone know if this new GnuTLS is API and/or ABI compatible? I know that they broke a load of API functions between 1.0 and 1.4, which required a source patches and retesting for libvirt.
I don't know about gnutls 2.0 case, but updating from 1.4.1 to 1.6.3 is safe, meaning that there is no SONAME bump . So there isn't any "need" to rebuild... (as far as i know). That might be interesting to have it.
Updating gnutls-devel >= 1.5.4 will allow filezilla 3.0.0 (final) to be available to the F-7 branch. So now, gntls 1.6.3 is only within the devel branch. But it just has been commited for the F-7 branch. I will request F-7 branch for filezilla and build for F-7 if released...
Someone know if gnutls 2.0.0 is already BuildRequired by some apps ? Anyway Might be interesting to rebuild packages in devel now instead of having it updated later...(if possible)
