Greetings mentors, I'm looking for a sponsor to upload a new version of nettle, a low level cryptographic library. The upload would fix the serious bug #415034.
Package files can be found in ftp://ftp.kibibyte.se/debian/pool/main/n/nettle DSC is ftp://ftp.kibibyte.se/debian/pool/main/n/nettle/nettle_1.15-2.dsc * Fix serious regression: The -lgmp added in 1.8-1 fell off in 1.15-1 (Closes: #415034). * Use dpatch to handle patches. * Make package binNMUable. * Add XS-Vcs-* fields to debian/control. * Make dependencies on libnettle2 versioned. It's possible that urgency=high isn't warranted. None of the packages already in testing seem to be affected, and introducing dpatch is perhaps not to be taken lightly, but I've tested carefully. I'd appreciate it if someone would upload this package for me, and even more so if someone would accept to sponsor it in the future (updates are quite rare). Long description: Nettle is a cryptographic library that is designed to fit easily in more or less any context: In crypto toolkits for object-oriented languages (C++, Python, Pike, ...), in applications like LSH or GNUPG, or even in kernel space. It tries to solve a problem of providing a common set of cryptographic algorithms for higher-level applications by implementing a context-independent set of cryptographic algorithms. In that light, Nettle doesn't do any memory allocation or I/O, it simply provides the cryptographic algorithms for the application to use in any environment and in any way it needs. -- Magnus Holmgren [EMAIL PROTECTED] (No Cc of list mail needed, thanks)
