Using LibreSSL instead of OpenSSL with GnuGk / H323Plus / PTLib

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

with the bugs recently found in OpenSSL, there is some concern how many
more issues still lurk in the old and crufty OpenSSL code. There is a
great effort by some OpenBSD developers to fork OpenSSL into
"LibreSSL" (www.libressl.org) and clean up the code while keeping the
public interface stable.

I did a quick check and can report that GnuGk / H323Plus / PTLib
compile well with LibreSSL instead of OpenSSL. All I had to do was
provide a pkg-config file. So now we have a choice which library to use.

I used LibreSSL Portable 2.0.3 for my test.

Another interesting project would be to use GnuTLS as a replacement,
but thats going to require a number of code changes on our side.

Regards,
Jan
