[blfs-support] gst-plugins-bad optional GnuTLS dependency

[John Frankish via blfs-support]

Ref:
Beyond Linux(r) From Scratch - Version 2018-11-22
Chapter 42. Multimedia Libraries and Drivers
gst-plugins-bad-1.14.4

GnuTLS-3.5.19 is listed as an optional dep, but the configure script does not test for it, config.log does not mention it and none of the compiled gst-plugins-bad libs or plugins depend on it.

Is gnutls a runtime dep or a depreciated one?

Regards
John

According to the ChangeLog from 2014, gnutls is mentioned with regard to
nettle/libgcrypt. There is mention of changes with regard to gnutls in
the NEWS file that dates back to gst-plugins-bad-1.14.1, but no mention
of removing it since then.

Looks as if the requirement was only for the hls plugin. For that,
configure now tests (in order) for nettle, libgcrypt, openssl.
