Source: xorg-server Version: 2:21.1.15-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patchHi Xserver maintainers! Please consider building the X.org xserver against nettle for its implementation of sha1. nettle is likely to already be installed on upcoming debian systems, since apt depends on sqv, which depends on libnettle. We already build xserver against libnettle statically for the udeb, so we know that it works as a sha1 backend. I've prepared a short patch series that makes xserver depend directly on nettle for the normal .deb, not just the udeb. You can find it here: https://salsa.debian.org/xorg-team/xserver/xorg-server/-/merge_requests/15 I'm also including those changes against the debian-unstable branch in this message, but since the most complex one is a diff of debian/patches it might be easier to make sense of it on the salsa MR.
This shouldn't change the udeb, but I'm cc'ing -boot just to be on the safe side. If you don't have any objections, I'll get this merged.
Cheers, Emilio
