I'm getting this when trying to build libvirt on rawhide (using the package gnutls-devel-2.12.3-1.fc16.x86_64):
remote/remote_driver.c: In function 'negotiate_gnutls_on_connection': remote/remote_driver.c:1361:9: error: 'gnutls_certificate_type_set_priority' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/gnutls/compat.h:347) [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]
Since we don't normally build with -werror we should not need to fix this for 0.9.1
but I can't find anything in the gnutls man pages that says why it is deprecated or what to use in its place. Any ideas?
Curl seems to have hit the same, and suggest to use gnutls_priority_set_direct(): http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2011-04/0162.html But the 2 functions are completely different, however at http://hackipedia.org/Software/GNU/gnutls/gnutls%20-%20Transport%20Layer%20S... there are examples of the use of that function, taking a description string instead of a list of parameters gnutls_priority_set_direct (session, "PERFORMANCE:!ARCFOUR-128", NULL); ... gnutls_priority_set_direct (session, "NORMAL:+SRP:+SRP-DSS:+SRP-RSA", NULL); ... const char *err; ret = gnutls_priority_set_direct (session, "PERFORMANCE", &err); Seems that instead of building a list of int, one need to build a string, and there is a better error reporting mechanism. The main problem though is that we are gonna have to detect it in configure because the replacement function gnutls_priority_set_direct is not present in older release like gnutls-1.4.1 used to compile on RHEL-5 for example.
