   3 We [announced earlier](/news/modified-gnutls-2.4.x-available) that the
   4 Monkeysphere project was providing patched versions of GnuTLS to
   5 support one piece of Monkeysphere functionality.  Fortunately, those
   6 patches are no longer needed, because as of [version
   7 2.6](http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/3135),
   8 GnuTLS contains the necessary functionality natively.
   9
  10 Therefore, our project will no longer provide patched copies of
  11 GnuTLS, though we will continue to keep the patch alive in in [our git
  12 repository](/community) until GnuTLS 2.6 has been more widely adopted.
  13
  14 If you were pulling patched versions of GnuTLS 2.4 from the
  15 Monkeysphere archive, you may prefer to pull GnuTLS 2.6 from [debian's
  16 experimental archive](http://wiki.debian.org/DebianExperimental) (at
  17 least until it GnuTLS 2.6 drops into unstable, which should happen
  18 shortly after the release of
  19 [lenny](http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLenny).
