So, is this planned for the 22.04 release? Back in 18.04, there was a similar abi-breaking change between 1.0 and 1.1, and the resulting conflict between the libssl-dev and libssl1.0-dev packages was quite painful to many people and never actually resolved: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl1.0/+bug/1794589 I would hate to see that happen again in 22.04. > > Also, since the rebuild has been done in a PPA, I had to tweak the > report script quite a bit, so some of its features might not have been > working properly. > > Cheers, > Simon > > [0]: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/OpenSSL_3.0 > [1]: https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2021/06/17/OpenSSL3.0ReleaseCandidate/ > [2]: > https://launchpad.net/~schopin/+archive/ubuntu/openssl3/+sourcepub/12547808/+listing-archive-extra > [3]: https://people.canonical.com/~schopin/rebuilds/openssl3-impish.html > > -- > ubuntu-devel mailing list > ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
