Dear colleagues, as the changes described in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/OpensslDeprecateEngine
were approved and implemented and a week or two has passed, we can summarize the consequences. Lack of openssl/engine.h file moved to a separate package is not processed correctly by packages and requires changes in specs which also comes with a cost. OpenSSL ABI is kept. On the other hand, CentOS stream uses a different approach when openssl keeps ABI, doesn't ship openssl/engine.h, and defines OPENSSL_NO_ENGINE explicitly, so old applications keep working and at the same time new application can mostly be rebuilt without significant problems. I understand that Fedora has much more packages but there are much less complaints from CentOS/RHEL than from Fedora. So I wonder if it's worth changing the engine deprecation mechanism in Fedora to the one we have in CentOS and if yes, what is the mechanism for such a change. -- Dmitry Belyavskiy -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
