pkgsrc notes:
o Tested on NetBSD/i386 (Jukka Salmi), Mac OSX 10.5 (Adrian Portelli),
Linux (Jeremy C. Reed), Tru64 5.1b (tnn), HP-UX 11i (tnn).
Because the Makefile system has been rewamped, other
platforms may require fixes. Please test if you can.
o OpenSSL can now be built with installation to DESTDIR.
Overview of important changes since 0.9.7i:
o Add gcc 4.2 support.
o DTLS improvements.
o RFC4507bis support.
o TLS Extensions support.
o RFC3779 support.
o New cipher Camellia
o Updated ECC cipher suite support.
o New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free().
o Zlib compression usage fixes.
o Major work on the BIGNUM library for higher efficiency and to
make operations more streamlined and less contradictory. This
is the result of a major audit of the BIGNUM library.
o Addition of BIGNUM functions for fields GF(2^m) and NIST
curves, to support the Elliptic Crypto functions.
o Major work on Elliptic Crypto; ECDH and ECDSA added, including
the use through EVP, X509 and ENGINE.
o New ASN.1 mini-compiler that's usable through the OpenSSL
configuration file.
o Added support for ASN.1 indefinite length constructed encoding.
o New PKCS#12 'medium level' API to manipulate PKCS#12 files.
o Complete rework of shared library construction and linking
programs with shared or static libraries, through a separate
Makefile.shared.
o Rework of the passing of parameters from one Makefile to another.
o Changed ENGINE framework to load dynamic engine modules
automatically from specifically given directories.
o New structure and ASN.1 functions for CertificatePair.
o Changed the key-generation and primality testing "progress"
mechanism to take a structure that contains the ticker
function and an argument.
o New engine module: GMP (performs private key exponentiation).
o New engine module: VIA PadLOck ACE extension in VIA C3
Nehemiah processors.
o Added support for IPv6 addresses in certificate extensions.
See RFC 1884, section 2.2.
o Added support for certificate policy mappings, policy
constraints and name constraints.
o Added support for multi-valued AVAs in the OpenSSL
configuration file.
o Added support for multiple certificates with the same subject
in the 'openssl ca' index file.
o Make it possible to create self-signed certificates using
'openssl ca -selfsign'.
o Make it possible to generate a serial number file with
'openssl ca -create_serial'.
o New binary search functions with extended functionality.
o New BUF functions.
o New STORE structure and library to provide an interface to all
sorts of data repositories. Supports storage of public and
private keys, certificates, CRLs, numbers and arbitrary blobs.
This library is unfortunately unfinished and unused withing
OpenSSL.
o New control functions for the error stack.
o Changed the PKCS#7 library to support one-pass S/MIME
processing.
o New FIPS 180-2 algorithms (SHA-224, -256, -384 and -512).
o New X509_VERIFY_PARAM structure to support parametrisation
of X.509 path validation.
o Change the default digest in 'openssl' commands from MD5 to
SHA-1.
o Added support for DTLS.
o New BIGNUM blinding.
o Added support for the RSA-PSS encryption scheme
o Added support for the RSA X.931 padding.
o Added support for files larger than 2GB.
o Added alternate pkg-config files.
built with support for threads. This is done by adding the following
line to the package Makefile before the inclusion of openssl/buildlink3.mk:
USE_FEATURES.openssl= threads
The openssl/builtin.mk file is also adjusted to detect whether or not
the built-in OpenSSL was built with support for threads and the result
is used accordingly to determine whether or not a pkgsrc OpenSSL is
needed.
and add a new helper target and script, "show-buildlink3", that outputs
a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:
zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib
freetype2
expat
freetype2
Xrender
renderproto
RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).
caches variable definitions that were computed by make. These variables
are specified by listing them in MAKE_VARS, e.g.,
.if !defined(FOO)
FOO!= very_time_consuming_command
.endif
MAKE_VARS+= FOO
bsd.pkg.mk will include only the one generated during the most recent
phase. A particular phase's makevars.mk file consists of variable
definitions that are a superset of all of the ones produced in previous
phases of the build.
The caching is useful because bsd.pkg.mk invokes make recursively,
which in the example above has the potential to run the very time-consuming
command each time unless we cause FOO to be defined for the sub-make
processes. We don't cache via MAKE_FLAGS because MAKE_FLAGS isn't
consistently applied to every invocation of make, and also because
MAKE_FLAGS can overflow the maximum length of a make variable very
quickly if we add many values to it.
One important and desirable property of variables cached via MAKE_VARS
is that they only apply to the current package, and not to any
dependencies whose builds may have been triggered by the current
package.
The makevars.mk files are generated by new targets fetch-vars,
extract-vars, patch-vars, etc., and these targets are built during
the corresponding real-* target to ensure that they are being invoked
with PKG_PHASE set to the proper value.
Also, remove the variables cache file that bsd.wrapper.mk was generating
since the new makevars.mk files provide the same functionality at a
higher level. Change all WRAPPER_VARS definitions that were used by
the old wrapper-phase cache file into MAKE_VARS definitions.
package because PKG_OPTION.<pkg> could contain negative options, which
are never part of PKG_OPTIONS. Instead, use the show-var target to
display the value. We cache it in WRAPPER_VARS and in MAKE_FLAGS to
prevent reinvoking the show-var target recursively.
too numerous to be listed here, but include adding a new DES API
(support for the old one is still present).
Changes to the pkgsrc structure include:
* Install the shared libraries with a version number that matches the
OpenSSL version number
* Move some of the less often-used c_* utilities back into the examples
directory.
* Drop support for using the RSAREF library and always use the built-in
RSA code instead.
intended transformation: use "rm" to remove an option, "rmdir" to remove
all options containing a path starting with a given directory name, and
"rename" to rename options to something else.

*) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CAN-2004-0079)

by moving the inclusion of buildlink3.mk files outside of the protected
region. This bug would be seen by users that have set PREFER_PKGSRC
or PREFER_NATIVE to non-default values.
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES should be ordered so that for any package in the
list, that package doesn't depend on any packages to the left of it
in the list. This ordering property is used to check for builtin
packages in the correct order. The problem was that including a
buildlink3.mk file for <pkg> correctly ensured that <pkg> was removed
from BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and appended to the end. However, since the
inclusion of any other buildlink3.mk files within that buildlink3.mk
was in a region that was protected against multiple inclusion, those
dependencies weren't also moved to the end of BUILDLINK_PACKAGES.
built-in or not into a separate builtin.mk file. The code to deal
checking for built-in software is much simpler to deal with in pkgsrc.
The buildlink3.mk file for a package will be of the usual format
regardless of the package, which makes it simpler for packagers to
update a package.
The builtin.mk file for a package must define a single yes/no variable
USE_BUILTIN.<pkg> that is used by bsd.buildlink3.mk to decide whether
to use the built-in software or to use the pkgsrc software.
as PREFER_PKGSRC. Preferences are determined by the most specific
instance of the package in either PREFER_PKGSRC or PREFER_NATIVE. If
a package is specified in neither or in both variables, then PREFER_PKGSRC
has precedence over PREFER_NATIVE.
BUILDLINK_PREFER_PKGSRC
This variable determines whether or not to prefer the pkgsrc
versions of software that is also present in the base system.
This variable is multi-state:
defined, or "yes" always prefer the pkgsrc versions
not defined, or "no" only use the pkgsrc versions if
needed by dependency requirements
This can also take a list of packages for which to prefer the
pkgsrc-installed software. The package names may be found by
consulting the value added to BUILDLINK_PACKAGES in the
buildlink[23].mk files for that package.
OpenSSL software. Otherwise, set it to /etc/ssl/certs, which is where a
lot of Linux distros store certs. The behaviour on NetBSD systems is
unchanged -- always set to /etc/openssl/certs. Fixes PR 24161.
"Package Makefiles should refer to PKG_SYSCONFBASEDIR instead of
PKG_SYSCONFBASE when they want PKG_SYSCONFDIR stripped of
PKG_SYSCONFSUBDIR. This makes PKG_SYSCONFBASE=/etc work with pkgviews by
installing all config files into /etc/packages/<pkg> instead of
occasionally putting some directly into /etc."
