Basically, just before the freeze happened, I finally had a user who's locally-rebuilt FreeRADIUS .deb failed due to the libltdl LTDL_GLOBAL removal. [1] I suggested he try the patch at [1], and he reported success. As such, I was going to check over and apply this patch to the package this weekend. And then cameth the freeze... Anyway, I was wondering if it would be OK if I uploaded a version with the patch... It should be fairly non-intrusive, since it only affects Makefiles that are not used during the Debian archive build (due to OpenSSL/GPL conflicts) but which people routinely build local versions to gain the functionality of. Given more time, I would change the system to build a version with OpenSSL based on a DEBIAN_BUILD_FLAGS value of some kind, but I'm pretty sure that control-file trickery during builds is something I don't want to be playing with during the freeze. In fact, I don't want to play with it at all. -_-; So I guess the question is, can I make a new upload to include a patch that is only relevant for local package builders? If not, that's OK, I intend to maintain a backports.org package of 1.1.0 which will hopefully have GnuTLS before release and hence be binary distributable. If I _do_ make this upload, I'd also like to solve #306007 by adding Suggests: libdate-manip-perl to the Suggests list for freeradius-dialupadmin, since I said I'd do that with whatever upload I did next. There's no Debian bug report for this libltdl thing because people always email me directly about it. I blame this on the very clear statements in the bug reports about EAP/TLS (#266229 and #289253) that Debian doesn't provide EAP/TLS at this moment. ^_^ [1] http://bugs.freeradius.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75 -- ----------------------------------------------------------- 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?
