RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS
AVAILABLE PATCHES
IN PROGRESS
o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
OCSP
EVP cipher enhancement.
Enhanced 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).
Shared library support for VMS.
OCSP
Kerberos 5 authentication
Constification
NEEDS PATCH
o apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
o OpenSSL_0_9_6-stable:
#include <openssl/e_os.h> in exported header files is illegal since
e_os.h is suitable only for library-internal use.
o Whenever strncpy is used, make sure the resulting string is NULL-terminated
or an error is reported
OPEN ISSUES
o crypto/ex_data.c is not really thread-safe and so must be used
with care (e.g., extra locking where necessary, or don't call
CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index once multiple threads exist).
The current API is not suitable for everything that it pretends
to offer.
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.
