Hi, Working on 2.- To enable-ssl or not enable-ssl (define what to do). On Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 10:36:39AM +0200, Michal Nowak wrote:
[...] Generally speaking for Fedora, we won't turn on options which are not turned on by default in upstream - it usually brings divergence from upstream and comments in upstream mailing lists (not this one :) ) like: "That poor distroX turned on --enable-coolness so we are not supporting users of this distro at all."
Turning on SSL in upstream means more pressure for fixing it, usually :). But I am reading dillo-dev long enough to know it's not that easy.
Reading forums served on https is handy, so I understand if a user wants to have it enabled. Considering that making a user compile dillo is currently a complex operation (the apparently simple --enable-ssl switch is complex because of FLTK2 installation issues), I'd try to provide the packaged option as an alternative to the main package (not SSL-enabled). Something like: --------------------------------------------------------------- Debian: Jaunty, Karmic (click here) Fedora: F11, F12 (click here) --------------------------------------------------------------- With alpha HTTPS support: * Note that this is NOT checking certificates, may get stuck in asking dialogs, but will let you read https forums. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK Debian: Jaunty, Karmic (click here) Fedora: F11, F12 (click here) --------------------------------------------------------------- Obviously the safe option is not to offer ssl-enabled packages, but that will mainly have the effect of no https-dpi at all. I'm not quite sure which one would be best. Comments? -- Cheers Jorge.-
