The config vs. Configure scripts + It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs. + src/Configure. It confuses. + Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure + script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove + Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf + itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks + which are currently in Configure. + + o Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least + for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff + Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the + solution to be really simple. + + Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the + compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache + into the OpenSSL Configure script. + + Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake, + which apparently is not flexible enough to generate + libcrypto) + + + o The perl/ stuff needs a major overhaul. Currently it's + totally obsolete. Either we clean it up and enhance it to be up-to-date + with the C code or we also could replace it with the really nice + Net::SSLeay package we can find under + http://www.neuronio.pt/SSLeay.pm.html. Ralf uses this package for a + longer time and it works fine and is a nice Perl module. Best would be + to convince the author to work for the OpenSSL project and create a + Net::OpenSSL or Crypt::OpenSSL package out of it and maintains it for + us. + + Status: Ralf thinks we should both contact the author of Net::SSLeay + and look how much effort it is to bring Eric's perl/ stuff up + to date. + Paul +1 + + WISHES + + o -- cgit v1.1
