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. - - 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) - - - 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. - Paul +1 - - WISHES - - o |
