RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS
- o BSD/OS: assembler functions must not have leading underscores
- o exptest and rsa_oaep_test fail with irix64-*
- (Don Badrak <dbadrak@geo.census.gov>: "Re: Problems to compile openssl
- on IRIX 6.2", openssl-users)
- o BN_add test fails on Caldera OpenLinux 1.3
- (Marc Christensen <Marc.Christensen@m.cc.utah.edu>
- "Compiles but fails big number test?", openssl-users)
-
AVAILABLE PATCHES
- o OCSP (titchenert@certco.com)
+ o shared libraries <behnke@trustcenter.de>
o getenv in ca.c and x509_def.c (jaltman@watsun.cc.columbia.edu)
+ o SMIME tool (demo), Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@iki.fi>
+ o CA.pl patch (Damien Miller)
+ o FreeBSD 3.0 changes (Richard Levitte)
IN PROGRESS
o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
Proper (or at least usable) certificate chain verification.
- Documentation on X509 V3 extension code.
- PKCS #8 and PKCS#5 v2.0 support.
Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
- Checking and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
+ Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
+ Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
+ Documentation for the openssl utility.
o Mark is currently working on:
Folding in any changes that are in the C2Net code base that were
NEEDS PATCH
- o broken demos
o salzr@certco.com (Rich Salz): Bug in X509_name_print
<29E0A6D39ABED111A36000A0C99609CA2C2BA4@macertco-srv1.ma.certco.com>
- o Compilation warnings: ctype-related int vs. char
- o $(PERL) in */Makefile.ssl
+ o $(PERL) in */Makefile.ssl
o "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
- o dubious declaration of crypt() in des.h
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
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
WISHES
- o Damien Miller:
- "How about making the each of the locations compile-time defined. I
- would like to (for example) put binaries in /usr/bin, configuration
- data, certs and keys in /etc/openssl/certs and /etc/openssl/keys, etc.
- This would also be a great boon to binary package makers. The
- SSLeay-0.9.1b RPM already includes some patches which do some of this.
- I can forward them if you wish."
-
- o Mats Nilsson <mats.nilsson@xware.se>:
- "Add reference counting to all substructures of X509 etc. For instance,
- X509_NAME lacks a reference counter, while EVP_PKEY has one. I'm
- making COM-wrappers for selected parts of SSLeay for a project of ours,
- and has found this inconsistency in copy semantics annoying."
