0001-Support-openssl-1.1.0-without-compat-modes.patch

Upstream's bug tracker[0] seems to have some trouble, but here's a patch to fix build with openss-1.1.0c for upstream master branch.

0001-ssl-Make-RAND_egd-optional.patch

For 0.12_pre6-r2, first this patch[1] from upstream is required to drop EGD requirement.

Also required is my patch from above, backported to 0.12_pre6-r2.

elinks-0.12_pre6-r3-openssl-1.1.0.patch

This patch is just simply the patches that eroen kindly supplied earlier
tweaked to apply to www-client/elinks-0.12_pre6-r3 (leaving out stuff that
is now in -r3).  Builds fine with dev-libs/openssl-1.1.0f-r1.
Comment 7 Felix Janda 2017-10-31 22:43:24 UTC
I don't quite understand the patch.

From what I can see, SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms does the same as
SSL_library_init, which has been superseeded by OPENSSL_init_ssl.
It seems that the patch removes openssl initialization.

The configure tests also seem strange:

+				AC_LINK_IFELSE([AC_LANG_PROGRAM([[#include <openssl/crypto.h>]], [[OpenSSL_version_num()]])],[cf_result=yes],[cf_result=no])

Why include openssl/crypto.h? openssl/opensslv.h would make more sense.

+		AC_CHECK_FUNCS([SSL_set_options] [SSL_get_SSL_CTX])

The result of this check doesn't seem to be used anywhere. So why add it?

Suggested patch

Reading the documentation [1] more closely, indeed, with OpenSSL-1.1.0
explicit initialized is no longer needed.

Does this new patch still work?

elinks-0.13_pre_pre20180225-openssl-1.1.0-compat.patch

Here is an updated and cleaned up patch for elinks-0.13_pre_pre20180225.
Comment 10 Felix Janda 2018-03-15 23:07:57 UTC
Sorry for the delay.

The only minor issue I see is that it breaks compilation with libressl.
No current release of libressl has ASN1_STRING_get0_data, but the next
version should have it.

Several possibilities:

- wait for the next libressl release
- write a configure test for ASN1_STRING_get0_data
- speculatively check for LIBRESSL_VERSION_NUMBER <= 0x2060400fL
- ask for an openssl ebuild with the option to enable the deprecated functions
Comment 11 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2018-10-24 14:28:46 UTC
Since we decided to no longer build openssl without deprecated features, this
bug can now be considered as fixed (but will eventually reappear once openssl
upstream finally removed deprecated features from their code).
