[openssl-users] openssl-compat patch for OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below?

2017-04-02 Thread Jeffrey Walton
I was looking at Kurt Roeckx 's patches for OpenSSH at
https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/pull/48/files. See
libcrypto-compat.h and libcrypto-compat.c.

Are the source files distributed by OpenSSL? If so, where is the download?

If not, can the OpenSSL project consider adding them. They are very
useful for managing projects that depend on older and newer OpenSSL
libraries. OpenSSL taking on the responsibility would help ensure
consistency and quality.

The topic of backwards-compat headers has come up a few times previously
on the list; with the resolution being a call for some external
contributor to host and maintain them.

So, no, OpenSSL does not distribute such things.

Thanks. The files are now hosted on OpenSSL's wiki at
https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/OpenSSL_1.1.0_Changes. We'll keep
an eye on them.
