Hi all, here is a small HOWTO about using OpenSSL with Mageia Cauldron applications that broke with the new version of the "openssl" package (1.0.1), such as svn with https:// URLs:
1. Download openssl-1.0.0j.tar.gz from: http://www.openssl.org/source/ 2. Unpack it. 3. Use the following shell script to configure it (you can customise the ossl_pref prefix to your liking: [QUOTE] #!/bin/bash ossl_pref="$HOME/apps/openssl" ./config --prefix="$ossl_pref" --openssldir="$ossl_pref/openssl" shared [/QUOTE] There is more coverage of this here: http://www.devside.net/guides/linux/openssl 4. Add the following lines to your .bashrc: [QUOTE] oldssl() { export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOME/apps/openssl/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" } [/QUOTE] 5. Now when you want to use svn with https:// or whatever just type "oldssl" first. ------------- I've tried to fix svn in Cauldron, but rebuilding it didn't help, and trying to rebuild libneon0.27 caused "%check" to fail. This was reported here: http://lists.manyfish.co.uk/pipermail/neon/2012-June/001473.html I tried to build libneon0.27 against gnutls, but I got a compilation error.
