[PATCH 21.5] TLS support

Jerry James writes: Why not a public branch? This is truly exciting stuff! (Excuse my faux pas if you already did....) N.B. If you decide to commit now, no point in a branch, of course. I'm just hoping we can have more visibility for our activity going forward. OK by me, since it's optional (should default to yes but build or other problems can be handled by --with-tls=no). I think you should try gnutls first, though, although you can document that choice as "likely to change". Rationale: I have no objection to preferring nss or openssl once we resolve the gnutls.el compatibilty issue (even if we resolve it "not worth the effort"), but during the beta we really want as much Emacs code to work out of the box as possible. Please do it "soon" and I can release a beta (which you may have noticed is long overdue, fsck my employer -- not that fsck would help, it's broken-by-design). I say, just live with it. People who want Emacs compatibility will just have to go --with-tls=gnutls for the nonce. This isn't a real review, so no APPROVE, but I'm sure not gonna VETO if you self-approve. Steve P.S. It would be appreciated if you would remove the patch to configure, and just leave configure.ac for review. IMO YMMV WDOT? _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Patches mailing list XEmacs-Patches(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-patches
