this surprises me because ArchLinux has been shipping OpenSSL 1.0.0 for almost a month. > Those packages I found which don't compile are: mutt, php, nmap. Also > Sander told that KDE doesn't compile. Wouldn't it be possible to build those packages with OpenSSL 0.9.8n and everything else with the latest version? I suppose Nix is the kind of system that can do that. > [trunk] broke again.

However, I don't see how using Git instead of SVN would have had an impact on that particular situation.

The problems we've had with your recent commits weren't caused by the organization of the repository, IMHO, they occurred because you were uncareful and inresponsive.
