Hello,
echoping.c contains this code ...
upstream:
const int cert_type_priority[3] = { GNUTLS_CRT_X509,
GNUTLS_CRT_OPENPGP, 0
};
gnutls_certificate_type_set_priority(session,
cert_type_priority);
as patched by Debian:
gnutls_priority_set_direct(session, "NORMAL:+CTYPE-OPENPGP", NULL);
i.e. it explicitely enables gnutls support for openpgp certificates.
GnuTLS stopped enabling OPENPGP certificates by default in 3.0.2 (Sept
2011). OpenPGP support in gnutls was marked deprecated in 3.5.9 and was
removed in 3.6.0. (Noop stub functions are still shipped to avoid ABI
breakage.)
Therefore imho it makes sense to drop the pgp/gnutls code from echoping.
