Hey, I have been working on preparing an import of OpenSSL 0.9.8b into the base system. Before actually doing the import I would like to get comments and, if possible, even someone to test run it and report any problems. I have been running OpenSSL 0.9.8b for a couple of days without anything blowing up. The API in 0.9.8b is not entirely compatible with 0.9.7e (which we currently have in the base system) so I choose to bump the library version number. I know API != ABI, but I'm not really sure how to check if the ABI is compatible, and I can see that the shared library number is bumped if you use OpenSSL's own build system. In OpenSSL 0.9.8b the API libmp uses is broken so libmp has been updated. I have not yet tested the libmp change since I don't have any programs which uses it, but I plan to make a small test program before commit. The patch against -CURRENT from today can be found at http://people.freebsd.org/~simon/patches/openssl-0.9.8b-0.patch (note: 4.2MB) or in perforce as //depot/user/simon/openssl/ which can also be viewed as: http://perforce.freebsd.org/depotTreeBrowser.cgi?FSPC=//depot/user/simon/openssl/ The patch can be applied while standing in your src/ directory using: patch -p6 < openssl-0.9.8b-0.patch Note, due to the API breakage I have no plans to MFC this. Comments? -- Simon L. Nielsen
