openssl-0.9.8j

[Trent Shea]

Taken from release announcement.

The OpenSSL project team is pleased to announce the release of

version 0.9.8j of our open source toolkit for SSL/TLS. This new OpenSSL version is a critical security, feature and bugfix release. For a complete list of changes, please see ​http://www.openssl.org/source/exp/CHANGES.

[Trent Shea]

The "cp -v -r certs /etc/ssl" instruction should also be updated to reflect openssl's policy on not distributing certificates.

Shouldent that be openssl-0.9.8j?

Some notes:

1. I think we should just add the zlib-dynamic to the .config

line. There's really no reason not to.

2. I can't see the need for adding the instructions to create

and populate /etc/ssl for the test. It runs just fine without it best as I can tell.

3. The note about TLS can be removed as it is default now.

4. The MANDIR env var doesn't need to be included on the make line.

Replying to randy@…:

1. I think we should just add the zlib-dynamic to the .config

line. There's really no reason not to.

Also please add enable-gmp to the config call.

[Randy McMurchy]

These are the types of things that make me want to completely stop reading anything you have to say William. First of all, simply providing "enable-gmp" does nothing without adding other parameters which you fail to document.

Futhermore, if you were to actually *READ* the documentation, you'd see that on x86, the native code is faster. So why on earth would we want to add something that actually produces inferior code?

Please know that from now on, William, I am not reading anything you have to say. So if I own a ticket, please don't clutter it with anything you have to say, as it will be completely ignored.
