What do you mean by default? a) The -dev to use if you don't use the OpenSSL callback, and you're not GPL, modulo relevant bugs? I think this was pretty clearly gnuTLS. Is _anyone_ suggesting OpenSSL for this? b) The version that should be in libcurl3? Has to be OpenSSL, to not break Sarge upgrades. And this will be true for the life of the package, unless we manage to get every package in Etch to not use it, at which point post-etch can do whatever. Including removing it in favour of libcurl4. ^_^ -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, MCSE 8th year CompSci/Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) Paul.Hampson@Anu.edu.au "No survivors?
