Hi! I'm CCing the Qt5 bug too because this concerns both versions.

Even if I could check the "Qt side" of the patch I would also not be able to 
asser the correctnes of the openssl side. But on the other hand Qt4 is dead 
upstream, so we could push it to the archive and see what happens... Not the 
best idea around, but a compromise solution. And we only have less than three 
months before freeze :-/

But even if we could do that with Qt4 we would still have to fix Qt5 too. 
OpenSSL final was released a couple of days ago, so upstream will probably 
start to work on this soon.We want upstream to do this change because they 
know much better than us what's around the code. But this also means that this 
won't be ready for stretch.

I do *really* understand that, much in the same way I would like to support 
only Qt5, it would be preferable to support only one openssl version in 
stretch, but I think we are already too late for this from the Qt side.

I would be perfectly happy to push the Qt4 patch once we get stretch released, 
and we will probably have a compatible Qt5 version around that time too.

Kinds regards, Lisandro.
