A licensing issue prevents us from linking Pan with libgnutls, so this will not fix: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693272 This is interesting because the gnutls.spec file says right now: > # The libraries are LGPLv2.1+, utilities are GPLv3+ > License: GPLv3+ and LGPLv2+ https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#GPLCompatibilityMatrix says that linking GPLv2 software with a LGPLv2+ library is okay. However I also found bug #1019408, but for RHEL 7. I guess this affects also Fedora somehow? But if, why wasn't the spec file updated? *** Bug 1005134 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** It would also have been a very good idea to explain in the %changelog _why_ build option --without-gnutls has been enabled. The current entry "Disable support for GnuTLS" is not helpful. Tom, if GnuTLS is effectively LGPLv3+ shouldn't the spec file reflect this?

I guess this affects also > Fedora somehow? But if, why wasn't the spec file updated? Yes, due to the fact that GnuTLS is effectively LGPLv3+, we cannot really link it with Pan.

The current entry "Disable > support for GnuTLS" is not helpful. Good point. I added a comment explaining this change in the spec file (pan-0.139-6.fc21). This is no longer the case in rawhide. GnuTLS is LGPLv2+, and GMP (which was also LGPLv3+) is now available under GPLv2+ as well. (In reply to Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos from comment #7) > This is no longer the case in rawhide. GnuTLS is LGPLv2+, and GMP (which was > also LGPLv3+) is now available under GPLv2+ as well. That's great news, thanks for the update. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle. Changing version to '22'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora22 I for one would like to start using ssl directly in PAN instead of stunnel. I would like to see it in Fedora 21 unless it takes until 22 to recompile the program. Changed to Fedora 23 Still no TLS support in pan on Fedora 23. Installed version: pan-0.139-10.fc23.x86_64 pan-0.139-11.fc22 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 22. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-beee3bb1a7 pan-0.139-11.fc22 has been pushed to the Fedora 22 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with $ su -c 'dnf --enablerepo=updates-testing update pan' You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-beee3bb1a7 pan-0.139-11.fc23 has been pushed to the Fedora 23 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with $ su -c 'dnf --enablerepo=updates-testing update pan' You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-0dffe0532f I've tested the new version pan-0.139-11.fc23 on Fedora 23. Pan has now working SSL/TLS support. Ticket can be closed. If no problems are reported in the next days I will close this ticket. Thanks a lot. I have tested the new version on FC22 and I am happy. Some hickups but that is expected when changing news servers around. Thank you for making this happen. No need for stunnel (which has it's own problems) for secure usenet. pan-0.139-11.fc23 has been pushed to the Fedora 23 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. pan-0.139-11.fc22 has been pushed to the Fedora 22 stable repository.
