o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. The config vs. Configure scripts
|
|
|
|
|
It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
|
|
|
|
|
src/Configure. It confuses.
|
|
|
|
|
Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
|
|
|
|
|
script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
|
|
|
|
|
Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
|
|
|
|
|
itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
|
|
|
|
|
which are currently in Configure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1998-12-31 12:14:27 +00:00
|
|
|
o Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
|
|
|
|
|
for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
|
|
|
|
|
Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
|
|
|
|
|
solution to be really simple.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
|
|
|
|
|
compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
|
|
|
|
|
into the OpenSSL Configure script.
|
|
|

|
|
|
Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
|
|
|
|
|
which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
|
|
|
|
|
libcrypto)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1998-12-31 12:14:27 +00:00
|
|
|
o The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's
|
|
|
|
|
totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date
|
|
|
|
|
with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice
|
|
|
|
|
Net::SSLeay package we can find under
|
|
|
|
|
http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html. Ralf uses this package for a
|
|
|
|
|
longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be
|
|
|
|
|
to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a
|
|
|
|
|
Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for
|
|
|
|
|
us.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay
|
|
|
|
|
and look how much effort it is to bring Eric's perl/ stuff up
|
|
|
|
|
to date.

Tom Holroyd tells us there is a SRP patch for OpenSSH at

http://members.tripod.com/professor_tom/archives/, that could
|
|
|
|
|
be useful.
