RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS
AVAILABLE PATCHES
o CA.pl patch (Damien Miller)
IN PROGRESS
o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
EVP cipher enhancement.
Proper (or at least usable) certificate chain verification.
Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
o Geoff and Richard are currently working on:
ENGINE (the new code that gives hardware support among others).
o Richard is currently working on:
UTIL (a new set of library functions to support some higher level
functionality that is currently missing).
Dynamic thread-lock support.
Shared library support for VMS.
NEEDS PATCH
o non-blocking socket on AIX
o $(PERL) in */Makefile.ssl
o "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
OPEN ISSUES
o internal_verify doesn't know about X509.v3 (basicConstraints
CA flag ...)
o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
1. The config vs. Configure scripts
It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
src/Configure. It confuses.
Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
which are currently in Configure.
o Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
solution to be really simple.
Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
into the OpenSSL Configure script.
Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
libcrypto)
o The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's
totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date
with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice
Net::SSLeay package we can find under
http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html. Ralf uses this package for a
longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be
to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a
Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for
us.
Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay
and look how much effort it is to bring Eric's perl/ stuff up
to date.
