Re: OpenSSL 4 in Ubuntu 26.10

Hi, > I am targeting OpenSSL 4 for Ubuntu 26.10 Stonking Stingray Release. Thanks Ravi for driving this. A couple of questions: 1) OpenSSL 4.0 was released on April 14th. I bet most upstreams are only now becoming aware that there is a new OpenSSL version and adapting to it in their next release. Do you have some way to reaching out to all upstreams to make sure they are aware of OpenSSL 4.0 and have an issue filed for tracking 4.0 compatibility? 2) Currently OpenSSL is packaged in a way that the symbols file that is supposed to track ABI stability is practically empty, see https://salsa.debian.org/debian/openssl/-/blob/debian/unstable/debian/libssl3t64.symbols. Do you see value in populating this with the actual symbols? I did it last year in https://salsa.debian.org/otto/openssl/-/commit/1403b82459516de60532fe629ea72bf9105157ea but the symbols list gets very long. Do you think this would be valuable, should I continue pursuing it? -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
