[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#698237: xen requires openssl to build

[Chris J Arges]

Package: xen
Version: 4.2.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When building the latest Debian xen 4.2.0-1 dsc in an Ubuntu raring
schroot I get a build failure due to libssl-dev not being pulled in. If
I build the same package
in a sid schroot it builds because libssl-dev is pulled in indirectly.

I think that libssl-dev should be added as a Build-Depends because it is
referenced
and required by the configure file in order to build. However, because
of this change
I understand that the debian/copyright file might need to be amended.

I see that tools/blktap/drivers/Makefile is flexible and can link
against -lgcrypt, however
tools/vtpm_manager/manager only links against -lcrypto. In addition
xen/include/crypto/vmac.h requires some libssl-dev headers to compile.

Thanks for your time,
--chris j arges
