Can I merge this in the 1.8? Gotoyuzo, who is working for my company,
told me to ask Michal.

						matz.

There is one problem ATM. It works only with OpenSSL 0.9.7*, anything
earlier is incompatible while many people still use 0.9.6j.

If a system depends on 0.9.6, but we can install a package
of ossl-0.1.x independently. I intend to continue maintenance
of OSSL1 as long as it needed.

I made ossl-0.1.4a for OpenSSL-0.9.6.

Thank you very much, this is what I need actually.

But regarding ossl merge into Ruby 1.8, can we get both versions added?
extconf.rb could decide which to compile depending on available OpenSSL
version.

Hmm, isn’t it too redundant? We haven’t modified OSSL1
except bugfixis for a year. I think it’s hard to develop
both versions. I expect that OSSL1 is going to be in
maintenance track and it will become outdated.


gotoyuzo

Let me reiterate the argument: there are bunch of systems which provide
only OpenSSL prior to 0.9.7 and OpenSSL 0.9.6j is still considered stable
by its developers (along with 0.9.7). If you look at http://rpm.pbone.net/
and search for openssl-*.src.rpm, you’ll find that 0.9.7 is available only
in RH9 and Mandrake 9.1 if we are speaking about big Linux distributions
(and of course in their development branches). Everything earlier is using
0.9.6. SuSE 8.2 (latest) uses 0.9.6. Debian Woody has 0.9.6 too.

Of course, development versions of these distributions might contain
0.9.7 (and most of them do so), but this is not an argument to drop support
for 0.9.6 if ossl will be merged to Ruby 1.8.

Your depth of comprehension may tend to make you lax in worldly ways.

I understand what you say. I agree that the standard
libraries should be usable on most of major systems.

However, if a system requires 0.9.6, package of OSSL1 is a
solution for the problem. I think that this problem is also
from system’s requirements, and it can be solved by its
package system.

In addition, for users needing only HTTPS, net/https in
OSSL1 can be used as same as it in OSSL2.

Yes. That’s why I’m proposing to put both during merge and make a switch
between in extconf.rb depending on presenting OpenSSL version.
