[SyncEvolution] SSL support in Maemo package (was: Re: Sync problem: myFunambol -> Nokia n900 with syncevolution)

The main reason is that it helps that class of users who will never figure out why SSL connections fail. The point of --with-ca-certificates is again that it changes the platform-specific default location, ideally saving users from having to figure out how to solve SSL problems. The talk.maemo.org hints that changing that location together with importing the SSL certificates via the Maemo settings GUI might work. I'm not sure about it, because libcurl and libsoup expect a single file, whereas the location mention apparently contains them as single files. Not much, I'm afraid. With libsoup it's actually even worse, the CA file *has* to be specified by each app, whereas libcurl has a builtin default. Some libsoup version also failed with certificates like the one from Google (v1 root certificate, if I remember correctly). -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter.
