Please continue to refrain from updating packages dependent on openssl
until we can get this stable.

Dear colleagues,
As we’ve already announced, we are going to land OpenSSL 4 in rawhide.
We used a dedicated copr repo [1] to check the compatibility of
builds and were able to either rebuild or propose patches to most of
the packages. Also as OpenSSL 4.0 was released more than a month
ago, a plenty of packages have been fixed upstream to restore the
compatibility and we hope that some of these fixes have already
landed in rawhide.
We kindly ask the maintainers of the packages we’ve created the
patches against to merge these patches or move to the latest
upstream version in case when upstream has been adopted to the
recent version of OpenSSL. Otherwise the patches will be merged and
built by proven packagers (Yaakov Selkowitz and Stephen Gallagher)
on or soon after Friday, June 12th.
We are going to establish a side-tag and rebuild OpenSSL 4, OpenSSL
3, and openssh in it. We are also planning to rebuild the packages
that we’ve successfully rebuilt in the COPR repo. We expect that
maintainers of other packages will rebuild their packages using that
side tag. After that is complete, the side tag will be merged into
rawhide. During this period, it is important that if you have a
package that depends on OpenSSL, you do not build it directly in
Rawhide without coordinating with us. This will avoid conflicts when
we merge the side-tag.
We were waiting for the OpenSSL security releases that happened
today to avoid extra churn. We are going to start the rebuild on
Friday, June 12, and plan to merge it on Wednesday, Jun 17, 2026.
I hope that this will work for most packages. We are still open to
help with any particular problems on adapting your packages for
OpenSSL 4.
