[openssl.org #2324] convert c_rehash from perl to POSIX shell

2014-08-30 Thread Rich Salz via RT
Quietly re-rejecting this. the longer-term plan is the C version builtin to the openssl command. __ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List

i don't think that's really true. else, why is autoconf friends relying on a shell and not perl ? those see way more distribution than openssl. Last I looked, autoconf doesn't use anything that really wasn't in Version 7 Bourne shell. In my comment, I deliberately used the term posix

These all first appeared in ksh: functions, local, return, $((math)) But to my mind, the question is moot, since post-1.0.2 we'll almost definitely have c_rehash builtin to the openssl command. that would also work :) It will also be much much much faster, since it doesn't have to call

while openssl requires perl in order to compile, nothing that it installs requires perl at runtime. that is except for the simple c_rehash script. for such a simple wrapper, i dont think the perl requirement is justified. fortunately, the PLD Linux guys have already rewritten things in POSIX
