Dear cgit maintainers, I have cherry-picked a patch from upstream[1] which allows cgit to build with both OpenSSL 3.x[2] and OpenSSL 4.0[3].
The FTBFS was caused by the vendored Git's imap-send.c using functions removed in OpenSSL 4.0. The upstream patch rewrites those functions to use a public API which has been available since OpenSSL 1.1. I have attached the patch to this message. Please let me know if you need anything else. Best wishes, Max [1]: https://github.com/git/git/commit/74137b733e59faaf3f3c6428af34c3798ce92757 [2]: https://launchpad.net/~maxgmr/+archive/ubuntu/plusone/+sourcepub/18493847/+listing-archive-extra [3]: https://launchpad.net/~maxgmr/+archive/ubuntu/openssl4-transition/+sourcepub/18493848/+listing-archive-extra
Description: Make imap-send OpenSSL 4.0 compatible imap-send currently uses functions which will be removed with OpenSSL 4.0. This patch rewrites those functions to use a public API which has been available since OpenSSL 1.1.
