[Bug 432786] Re: git imap-send ssl support

[Bernhard Reiter]

Two good news items:

1. libgnutls28 has been in Debian/Ubuntu for a while, and with Utopic,
libcurl4-gnutls-dev (which is a dependency of git) will finally depend
on libgnutls28-dev, which is a dummy package pointing to libgnutls-dev,
which in turn is at version 3.2.16, and which depends on nettle-dev (as
opposed to its predecessors, which depended on libgcrypt).

2. In Utopic, gnutls28 depends on libgmp-dev (>= 2:6), which has been
dual-licensed as LGPLv3+/GPLv2+.

So I think it should be both technically and legally feasible to use
gnutls and nettle in order to implement imap-send for current versions
of git!
