From what Eli said about his experience building GnuTLS on W32 this is
something I'd rather not take on. My time is rather limited.
I am happy to build against whichever GnuTLS lib with binaries is
available for W32 wherever. Whether that is on Eli's site or the
official GnuTLS site.
I will also include a link to a location where to obtain the binaries in
my release announcements from now on.
Regarding shipping Emacs with the GnuTLS binaries, I am generally not
opposed to doing that. But what about jpeg, gif, tiff support? I agree
with Juanma who IIRC said that we are providing an _Emacs binary
distribution_. This whole model does not fit the expectations in the
Windows world. In 2012, Windows users expect an "Emacs for Windows" with
all (binary) batteries included, an installer/uninstaller, etc. We don't
supply that and unless somebody steps up and does the work necessary we
won't. Whether politically speaking we should is another question.
Right now I am building against Eli's library v3.0.9. If you provide a
more recent, working, binary build for Windows and there is a somewhat
convenient way for me to get it (I can script downloading and unzip'ing)
I can include it in the binary distribution. That is, of course, if
nobody has compelling arguments why I should not.
Do we have to provide the source for GnuTLS if we include it in the
distro or is it enough for it to be available on the GnuTLS site?
