Bug#925450: unblock: libanyevent-perl/7.140-3

[Peter Pentchev]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Hi,

Please unblock package libanyevent-perl if you consider it fine to.

The reason for the 7.140-3 upload was to change the default size of
the DH parameters generated by AnyEvent::TLS, since OpenSSL 1.1.1
no longer accepts < 2048. This came up in the stunnel4 tests that
I added to the Debian package; they use a Perl client/server program
and connect to or accept connections from stunnel4, and they broke
with OpenSSL 1.1.1; see https://bugs.debian.org/923448 for
the stunnel4 bug and https://bugs.debian.org/923615 for
the libanyevent-perl bug that I cloned from the former.

At the time I decided that the AnyEvent::TLS bug itself was not
that important, but I've since realized that it is actually bad -
it means that any Perl programs that depend on AnyEvent::TLS will
no longer work with OpenSSL 1.1.1 unless they override the defaults
as I did in the stunnel4 test. So IMHO libanyevent-perl 7.140-3
should migrate to testing if you agree with this reasoning; I could
also raise the severity of #923615 to provide a formal justification.

I'm attaching the debdiff between 7.140-2 and 7.140-3; the DH params
change is the only one affecting the package's behavior.

Thanks in advance for your consideration even if you decide to decline
my request, and keep up the great work!

unblock libanyevent-perl/7.140-3

G'luck,
Peter
