Description Peter Vrabec 2007-10-23 10:17:49 UTC

emacs should be ported to use NSS library for cryptography.
See the tracking bug for details and links on how it could be done.

Comment 1 Chip Coldwell 2007-10-23 13:18:44 UTC

You'll really have to convince the upstream emacs developers that this is the
right thing to do.  I think it's unlikely that they'll go for it, since emacs is
multiplatform (Linux, every other UNIX, VMS, Windows, OS X, OS/2, ...).

Comment 2 Bob Relyea 2007-10-23 17:52:41 UTC

So is NSS....;).

Comment 3 Bob Relyea 2007-10-23 17:54:01 UTC

Chip, what are the crypto usages withing emacs?

Honestly, I don't see any libraries linked in

it will fork and exec stunnel, etc if it needs, e.g. imaps.

OK, where is the VMS version of NSS?

Comment 6 Bob Relyea 2007-10-23 20:21:21 UTC

stunnel has already been converted, so you are ok there...


You can find NSS for openVMS embedded in:
