I promised to look at this again after a week. Including myself and Mike I have had 5 people express an opinion on this (one of those privately to me).
Of those: 3 have spoken in favour of the patch 2 have spoken in favour of the status quo My concern was that this fix might break existing scripts. However thinking about this more this only really applies to current stable releases (you would expect some minor things like this to change from one release to another). Viktor argued that it is not clear which library many of the APIs are in, and in most cases you are going to want both anyway. This is probably true, but I suppose is the reason why openssl.pc exists - this is only really fixing what was (I assume) the intended original semantics. Therefore I have applied the fix to the master and 1.0.2 branches. http://git.openssl.org/gitweb/?p=openssl.git;a=commit;h=e6479c76ca6655fdd374d9724401c0912b417b3c Matt ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [email protected] Automated List Manager [email protected]
