The 3.0 series is the new LTS version and is supported until 7th
September 2026. The 1.1.1 series which is the previous LTS version has
an end of support on 11th September 2023.
This allows building with the clang toolchain. We might consider a more
global patch in the future for this, it seems a lot of packages need
help to find /usr/local/lib.
By defining our own target platform in the OpenSSL compilation
configuration we can now compile an OpenSSL shared library. We need to
avoid symbol versioning though, as serenity's LibELF doesn't support
this yet.
We are now also compiling with threading support to allow using this
from Python.
We may need entries with spaces in makeopts, installopts, and
configopts, and at that point we should also convert depends and
auth_opts to avoid confusion.
The `--openssldir` parameter was causing OpenSSL to search for its
resources in the wrong location, e.g.:
`/serenity/Build/i686/Root/usr/local/ssl/...`
By using `--install_prefix`, the build system understands where to put
the OpenSSL files and does not leak the build path into the compiled
binaries.
- Replaced /Root with
- Improved documentation.
- Removed a few typos.
- Replaced with
- Added brackets in some cases.
Most of the changes were reviewed and applied manually.
This patch refreshes the openssl port and makes it build the utilities
in apps/, e.g. the openssl utility.
Now you can do this from Serenity:
$ openssl s_client -connect example.org:443
...
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: example.org
<HTTP response here>
The download URL was bit-rotten and needed a fix.
* Use ${version} instead of explicit version numbers in urls/filenames
* Move -L option to port script, as this is always good
* Fix some various other stuff
