Bug 1006702

It is blocked by legal.

Ah okay.
Is this decision maybe old and could be revisited?

You can try to contact Fedora legal.

Mr. Deutsch's message on the Fedora legal mailing list <URL:https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/legal/2013-September/002238.html> was not answered, and I see that this bug is still open.

Since Fedora legal don't seem to want to talk about this, here are some links to when productive discussion about the legal status of SRP actually happened:
<URL:http://www.mail-archive.com/openssl-dev@openssl.org/msg28936.html>
Relatively recent discussion about including SRP in OpenSSL.
<URL:http://www.pdl.cmu.edu/mailinglists/ips/mail/msg09292.html>
Older discussion about SRP and iSCSI.

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Also I'll note that while the srp .c code is stripped from gnutls, the header declarations are still present.  This leads to errors at link/load time rather than compile time which is confusing.

Because it is a configurable feature, software wanting to use it need to configure-test its presence (as it seems curl does).

More importantly, however, the references to the SRP functions in the included Guile bindings are still present, leading to undefined symbol errors when loaded.  I fixed this on Cygwin (where all symbols must be resolved at link-time) with the following patch:

https://github.com/cygwinports/gnutls/blob/master/3.5.11-hobbled.patch

Note that in the upcoming update (3.5.12), srp will be enabled.
