No objections here, although this might require packaging changes on Windows. Libgcrypt is currently provided by the GnuTLS package on that platform, but it looks like they switched to Nettle in more recent versions.It seems that Libgcrypt support for GnuTLS was killed in November 2011 (GnuTLS 3.0.8). So the current GnuTLS 3.2.15 build for Windows does not even need it. GnuTLS is only used for supporting parsing private RSA key files (in various formats) in the SSL dissector. (If a new Libgcrypt package is built, the 1.7 series should be used for ChaCha20-Poly1305 support (TLS 1.3).)I can probably have a look at this when I'm back from vacation. OpenSuse still provides a 1.6.x version but we are already running our own libgcrypt build to workaround an issue with AES-NI.
Thanks Pascal, having Libgcrypt 1.7 for Windows (separate from GnUTLS) would be great. I pushed the initial version of the patch at https://code.wireshark.org/review/20030 One of the macOS buildbots is also missing Libgcrypt, that also needs to be fixed before merging the final patch. -- Kind regards, Peter Wu https://lekensteyn.nl ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
