At most a few seconds after starting transmission-3.00 built against openssl-3.0.3 (I guess when it starts hashing something): assertion failed: handle != NULL (/tmp/portage/net-p2p/transmission-3.00-r1/work/transmission-3.00/libtransmission/crypto-utils-openssl.c:210) Aborted (core dumped) FWICS it's fixed in git, I'm bisecting to find the right commit right now.
Found it. Unfortunately, it's not a small patch: commit a459e5e11b2d2524b649f7487368de30c8d2af21 Author: Mike Gelfand <mikedld@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sun Sep 12 06:47:29 2021 +0300 Switch to a standalone ARC4 implementation (#1788) * Switch to a standalone ARC4 implementation This frees us from expecting it being provided by one of the crypto libraries we support, all of which deprecated and/or removed it at this point. Fixes: #1103 Fixes: #1777 * Suppress lgtm warnings about RC4 being weak (we don't care)
Created attachment 778997 [details, diff] 0001-Switch-to-a-standalone-ARC4-implementation-1788.patch (rebased on 3.00) Here's a rebased patch. Apparently we also need the bundled ARC4 library. I can try to minimalize it (i.e. by replacing the big removals with #if 0) but I'm not sure if it wouldn't be better to just grab a snapshot at this point.
Not my decision but worth noting they're in the middle of a big c->c++ rewrite and don't seem to plan a release any time soon, so even if do take a snapshot, it won't be suitable for stabilisation :( https://github.com/transmission/transmission/discussions/2287
I meant a snapshot prior to the refactoring.
Another possible solution would be to load the "legacy" provider via config or via a code patch. https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/OpenSSL_3.0#Providers
