Hi, File .../trunk/perl-modules/core/trunk/OpenXPKI.xs has explicit reference to file openssl/ec.h which controls elliptic curves algorithms in openssl. This means that openxpki would not run, if this file is not present in a system.
But nowadays ec algorithms are sometimes believed to fall under some patents, and thus several project (Scientific Linux and CentOS for sure, and maybe RedHat?) have choosen to exclude ec from their openssl packages. Even from "devel" versions of the openssl package. Thus requirement to have ec.h prerequisite seems too rigid for openxpki, which can happily exist without ec. Do you think that use of ec could be made optional in openxpki?
