Comment 2 Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 2019-01-03 16:02:52 UTC
The update to nettle 3.4.1 will also allow gnutls CI using it (gnutls 3.6.5 requires nettle 3.4.1). Would it be possible to update to that version?

Comment 3 Michael Cronenworth 2019-01-03 17:26:53 UTC
@Nikos, I'm pushing a MinGW nettle 3.4.1 update now. You should check on nettle in Rawhide and F29. They are at 3.4.1-rc1 and F28 is at 3.4.1 (final). You may want to update Rawhide and F29.
