As one that was bit by this, at a minimum we would need an errata entry, so that that want need RSA support will need to build the port and rebuild openssl on the base system, which requires both src/secure and src/crypto. While I don't have a problem with the cumbersome way of installing a fully function openssl, it does make more work for the ports guys, and so I'd vote to drop openssl from the base for the reason that the goal is a "good" point-oh release. Ports that depend on RSA should be made to check for the includes, which is the most obvious error when building. This being addressed. Just commenting. Considering that building and installing world takes quite a while, it would be nice to have a simple way, so wonder if a simple 'make all install' in secure/usr.bin/openssl will do it for everything that depends on openssl. Chapter 6.5 of the handbook implies that a make world is needed. Doesn't bother me (much), but might be considered cruel and unusual punishment to those not familiar with building. This whole deal is adding a lot of confusion. While many of us can work with/around these problems, it isn't really streamlined. My big question is - Do we really want to force a 'make world' on the those that want RSA support in openssl? That would be ugly, when before it was simply the matter of building only two ports. my .02 Jeff Mountin - jeff@mountin.net Systems/Network Administrator FreeBSD - the power to serve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
