Yes. The current minimum version is whatever is on CentOS5. I believe we agreed
to drop support for anything prior to that time frame, due to poor compiler
support. So, IMO, it’s reasonable to look what is on CentOS5, and make that the
minimum OpenSSL requirement. Which is
openssl-0.9.8e-26.el5_9.1
openssl-devel-0.9.8e-26.el5_9.1
Ancient … We can make decisions to drop e.g. CentOS5 support at some point,
e.g. that might be ok for ATS v5.0.0 to do ? If so, CentOS6’s OpenSSL is
openssl-1.0.0-27.el6_4.2.x86_64
openssl-devel-1.0.0-27.el6_4.2.x86_64
(that’s CentOS6.5). I think dropping e.g. CentOS5 should be done with care, and
through lazy consensus on both dev@ and users@.
