Hello!
Attached is a security update for WPA Supplicant.
The new version toggles a lot of build-time options to more closely
resemble what Debian and Arch do. Unfortunately the new defaults
appears to require OpenSSL instead of GnuTLS.
Thoughts?

What happens when you keep CONFIG_TLS=gnutls?

This change is unrelated to the upgrade, right? It would break Connman
(which expects to talk to wpa_supplicant over D-Bus), as well as
NetworkManager probably, no? Or am I missing something?
I’d like to have to make sure wpa_supplicant works well in the 1.0.1
installer. :-)
Thanks for looking into it!

The linker fails to find a lot of OpenSSL interfaces. Short excerpt:
ld: ../src/common/dpp.o: in function `dpp_set_pubkey_point':
/tmp/guix-build-wpa-supplicant-2.8.drv-0/wpa_supplicant-2.8/wpa_supplicant/../src/common/dpp.c:538: undefined reference to `EVP_PKEY_get1_EC_KEY'
ld: /tmp/guix-build-wpa-supplicant-2.8.drv-0/wpa_supplicant-2.8/wpa_supplicant/../src/common/dpp.c:545: undefined reference to `EC_KEY_get0_group'
ld: /tmp/guix-build-wpa-supplicant-2.8.drv-0/wpa_supplicant-2.8/wpa_supplicant/../src/common/dpp.c:552: undefined reference to `EC_KEY_free'
Omitting the OpenSSL input makes it fail earlier due to lack of headers.

The distinguishing feature between "wpa-supplicant-minimal" and
"wpa-supplicant" is D-Bus support.
Upstream enabled D-Bus by default in version 2.8, so I toggled it back
with the snippet above so "wpa-supplicant-minimal" stays the same.
However I notice now that the new "wpa-supplicant-minimal" has D-Bus in
its closure even though the D-Bus interface is disabled.
So I'm not sure if it makes sense to have the separate -minimal variant
anymore. The size of both wpa-supplicant variants are 102.4MiB after
this patch, down from 157.4 and 143.1 MiB on the Guix master branch.
Thoughts?

Well you’re right, maybe it doesn’t make much sense to keep both
variants in that case.
So I guess you can go ahead and push so we can all test it in the coming
days!
Thanks,

Errh nevermind, the "wpa-supplicant-minimal" package does *not* have
D-Bus in its closure. The updated sizes are 87.8 and 102.1 MiB.

I have tested this on a few different setups and it appears to work
fine. Pushed as aeb1ed1abcc953694bcd742ae5e3ba5a13506373!
