Howdy all,
I know that the OpenSSH team has made a clear and well justified
decision regarding interoperability with OpenSSL 1.1. I respect that
entirely. That said, I've recently had to deal with a couple of
users
who had a specific set of requirements with building OpenSSH 7.7
using
patches for OpenSSL 1.1 found in the slackware package.
(http://slackblog.com/slackware/slackware64-current/source/n/openssh/
)
I found it annoying that this patch absolutely required OpenSSL 1.1
so I
modified it to provide a single patch that will compile under
OpenSSL
1.1 as well as earlier versions. Mostly it's just a whole lot of
#if/#else/#endifs to work with the different interfaces.
I did not read this patch nor your modifications, but why to write lot
of ifdefs, when already the first patch submitted (and most of others
used) provided a backward compatibility layer for older OpenSSL's?
Because I didn't know about it. My interactions with the OpenSSH
developer list are limited. I have the ssh variant I work on (hpn-ssh)
and that's where I try to maintain my focus.
I was asked by someone in the community to look into OpenSSL
compatibility for hpn-ssh based on the patch from slackware that I
pointed to. That wouldn't compile with older versions of OpenSSL. This
seemed silly so I made it so it could. Like I said, I only provided this
because I thought someone might find it useful.
