[[meta title="GnuTLS 2.6.x enables Monkeysphere to read authentication subkeys"]]


2009-04-05 UPDATE: Since Monkeysphere no longer depends on GnuTLS at all (moved to using Perl for key translation), and GnuTLS 2.6 is now available in Debian testing, we have removed the GnuTLS patches from the repostiory (although they will continue to be available in the history, or course).


We announced earlier that the Monkeysphere project was providing patched versions of GnuTLS to support one piece of Monkeysphere functionality. Fortunately, those patches are no longer needed, because as of version 2.6, GnuTLS contains the necessary functionality natively.

Therefore, our project will no longer provide patched copies of GnuTLS, though we will continue to keep the patch alive in in our git repository until GnuTLS 2.6 has been more widely adopted.

If you were pulling patched versions of GnuTLS 2.4 from the Monkeysphere archive, you may prefer to pull GnuTLS 2.6 from debian's experimental archive (at least until it GnuTLS 2.6 drops into unstable, which should happen shortly after the release of lenny.
