I know this is kind of like jumping off the high board before I've checked for water in the pool, but I'm wondering. Long version of the story -- I need to get an opentsa server running, and their site only has patches for openssl 0.9.7e, not for the latest, 0.9.7f. The current version in ports is 0.9.7f. I don't know how to massage the ports collection to get a downlevel version yet, and the boss doesn't want me to take time to learn how. (Silly boss.) So I just used the sample stable-supfile to get the system sources and note that the system version has gone up from 0.9.7d to 0.9.7e . So, I'm thinking to myself this could be heaven or this could be ... If this works, we are going to be wanting to build a dedicated time stamp server anyway, ... and similar sirens are calling from far away, ... but I really don't want to find myself in the situation where I can checkout anytime but never ... Short version -- What kind of grief am I likely to cause myself if I grab the opentsa patch, apply it to the openssl source in /usr/sys/crypto, and make world? There's a voice in my other ear that says the patch was not built to mix with freebsd patches to openssl, so I should just grab the stock openssl and build it completely outside the ports tree, configure the timestamp stuff to use the independently built openssl. -- Joel Rees <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> digitcom, inc. 株式会社デジコム Kobe, Japan +81-78-672-8800 ** <http://www.ddcom.co.jp> ** _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
