I think the right approach would to migrate to OpenSSL 1.0.0 and link all the OI packages with it, but provide a 0.9.8 library for legacy applications. It is what I am doing now in my own machines: """ [root@babylon5 lib]# d *libssl* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Feb 9 2011 libssl.so -> libssl.so.1.0.0 - -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 236060 Mar 26 2007 libssl.so.0.9.7 - -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 319416 Feb 9 2011 libssl.so.0.9.8 - -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 355028 Feb 9 2011 libssl.so.1.0.0 """ The only problem with this is that OI should keep pushing security fixes for the deprecated 0.9.8 version. - -- Jesus Cea Avion _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ j...@jcea.es - http://www.jcea.es/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ jabber / xmpp:j...@jabber.org _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ . _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibniz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQCVAwUBTmOWmZlgi5GaxT1NAQLufQP/eSGiYTKJgSYOQS//bs/OOXTwVpzOeSbc 6H9UV32/2VCBMiGFFi1O4qdBNVczsEPxb4NBPacoDYtBDwOw195VPnI1TNZX60cT 14jscws7EOB+mD2HtJ58y5wlko7SABbLG/QfjdoOjSSmidnA+BejGFzVy32YE29o /OppqglBrRM= =t79H -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
