Dear all,

I've been maintaining a backport of EL's openssl 3 in EPEL 8 for
several years; https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/openssl3

It's a mostly straightforward process -- just merge changes from
https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/openssl/-/tree/c9s?ref_type=heads
periodically - especially if there are CVEs filed - and sometimes
adjust the spec.

This package intentionally does not have FIPS modules enabled - partly
so as not to set expectations that this is validated in any way (people
who need FIPS *and* openssl 3 should use EL9 or EL10, whether from RH
or from other distributions).

Unfortunately - for a package that's maintained mostly as a service to
the community since my intended use case never materialized and we no
longer have EL 8 systems at work - the interactions I've had with users
of this package has left a bit of a sour taste. Including related to
the FIPS support above (no, no bug ever filed for this particular
case).

As it is - caveat lector, you know what you're signing up to - I will
orphan this package next week. Happy to coordinate an orderly transfer
if an existing packager replies to this by then, or someone who can
convince me they can learn to maintain this and just needs to be
sponsored. If that did not happen the package will be up for grabs in 7
days.

Best regards,

--
