I have successfully tested these patches on Fedora and CentOS Stream 10, where the engine support is already deprecated. These changes are quite important because we are currently carrying them as a downstream patch for some RPM packages. Regarding testing on OpenBSD and FreeBSD ( it uses openssl 3.0 by default ), I tried, but I ran into some build issues that I couldn't quickly resolve due to my limited experience with those environments. Instead, I decided to test with an alpine+libressl container and can confirm that the build of the tools does not break with these patches applied, which should cover the libressl case you were concerned about. # make tools # ldd tools/mkimage /lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 (0x7f12975f5000) libssl.so.60 => /usr/lib/libssl.so.60 (0x7f12973a4000) libcrypto.so.57 => /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.57 (0x7f129722a000) libc.musl-x86_64.so.1 => /lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 (0x7f12975f5000) # strings /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.57 | grep -i "libressl" LibreSSL 4.2.1 %s/libressl.cnf I'm happy to provide my tested-by tag if it helps move the patch along. Feel free to include it in v4. Tested-by: Enric Balletbo i Serra <[email protected]> Thanks, Enric > Thanks! > > -- > Tom
