GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 650008
openssl dependency is automagic
Last modified: 2019-02-23 02:49:03 UTC
Created attachment 187677 [details] [review] xchat-gnome-0.26.1-ssl-automagic.patch When packaging xchat-gnome, it is ideal for dependencies to not necessarily be automagic. This optionally allows more predictable/deterministic behavior. See attached patch which provides --without-openssl which completely disables compiling against openssl, --with-openssl which will cause ./configure to exit if openssl is not found, and --with-openssl=auto (the default choice if no --with-openssl is provided) which will automagically depend on openssl.
xchat-gnome is not under active development anymore. Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/xchat-gnome/commits/master Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather reactivate the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again. You may want to switch to Hexchat (or another IRC client that suits you).
