I have no opinion about DANE, but if this brings unbound into the GnuTLS closure, we should make sure we can build it reliably. So far this is not the case on Hydra (not sure about Berlin): https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2017-10/msg00182.html https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/unbound-1.6.3.x86_64-linux https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/unbound-1.6.7.x86_64-linux Also, it would be a bit of a shame to make GnuTLS depend on Python, thus making it depend on OpenSSL ;)
