Uses libssl1.0-dev instead of libssl-dev (1.1!) I'm currently working on 1. in Git but I need HEEEEELP (sorry for shouting but I need really help!) There was a patch originally crafted by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior (in CC) which applied to version 6.1 which was not incorporated by upstream (and its explicitly mentioned in their docs and the configure even checks for ssl 1.0). I tried for days to adapt the patch to the latest upstream version and also did some progress. However, I'm not an SSL expert and would not release to sid without a review by some expert. I'd really love if somebody would activate that patch[1] and try to complete it so that the source finally would build against libssl1.1. > Thanks for your work on Virtuoso! You are welcome but as I said while the package is somehow working its only half done regarding the usual Debian quality while probably matching a local build of the upstream source. Any volunteer is more than welcome to complete the work Andreas. [1] https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/virtuoso-opensource/blob/master/debian/patches/ssl1.1.patch -- http://fam-tille.de
