[Bug 2046154] Re: [MIR] libcryptx-perl (libmail-dkim-perl dependency)

 

Including some randomness functions to create libcryptx-perl-ed25519 may
be reasonable. Those rng functions don't need to be exposed except to
the  ed25519 functions. And then inc/CryptX_PK_DSA.xs.inc etc can be
disabled. I'll check with the crypto folks.

I'm a little concerned about the maintainability of option 1.

side note: libmail-dkim-perl was promoted in 2008 [0]. Issues in
libmail-dkim-perl are worth addressing [1]. In one of the issues [2] the
maintainer filed an issue to libcryptx-perl-ed25519 upstream [3].
