[blfs-dev] A note on openssl changes

[Bruce Dubbs]

The latest version of openssl disables SSLv2 by default.  This will cause 
other packages to break.


I was upgrading wireshark and it failed because a Qt5 library required 
SSLv2.  Fortunately a simple rebuild of Qt5 fixed the problem.


Just a heads up that other packages that use openssl may need to be 
rebuilt also.


A quick search of BLFS to find where openssl is referenced shows 71 packages.

I have no objection to removing either of these.

But you missed one - rxvt-unicode aka urxvt :


Yes, I missed that.  I suspect you would prefer not to remove that.

Yes, it has 'baggage' (& ~poor defaults), but I'd suggest keeping xterm -
not least as an ~expected part of basic/core x environment; cf twm .


I agree that xterm is not that useful because of the difficult 
configuration, but it is classic and, like twm and xclock, allows testing 
of Xorg early.  None of these is particularly hard to to /update/install/test.

I have no right t ask anything, but would like gnome-terminal to remain
in the book.

 I don't know if this is related to new grep, but there are many

 about new 50 references to 'terminal-regex' plus 'terminal_regex' in
 the
 new code.
