ALL :


I may receive no reply to this but in general I have been able to build Apache httpd from any release tarball as well as from trunk. When httpd needed to get TLS 1.3 working it was a slam dunk to get that working and it did. However now we have OpenSSL 3.0.0 and it seems that neither the
latest RC works nor does trunk.

So then ... how to proceed ?

The plan is to make a "OpenSSL 3.0" ready release soon after 2.4.49,
anticipating also a possible (likely?) OpenSSL 3.0.1, as a common
then when releases are done and the test base broadens significantly.

That's my understanding.

One could argue, that 2.4.49 should do that as well, which would mean
delaying it. And there are security relevant changes, not visible in
the candidate, that sit on a timeline.

My personal opinion is that we need to release every other month and
take into it what is ready. The old model of waiting till all stars
align - which is nice as a developer - does not work for CVEs.
