Search their bug database at bugs.mysql.com. I know that they replied to a comment of mine but I don't know the exact subject or if I was the submitter... Probably there is a Debian bug report that has a reference to the MySQL bug number in it. > > Also adding yet another library into the already much too bloaten control > > files is also nothing I would be eager to. > > i agree about bloat, but it'd be a shame if we had to drop openssl > support like that. i guess this means another -devel thread needs > to be started :) I'm not subscribed to d-devel *grin* > i think maybe we just ought to leave it as a wontfix bug for the > time being, and revisit it when there aren't as many higher > priority bugs to tackle. Yes - and wait some months until MySQL puts in "real" SSL support. Another problem: Else we would then suddenly have no --with-ssl anymore (just a new "--with-funky-new-ssl") and the users would have to change their config options to the new SSL system. Not good once Sarge has been release and we want to upgrade just one minor version for an unrelated bugfix in "stable". bye, -christian-
