Void to switch back to OpenSSL |
|
At the start of the year we mentioned the Gentoo project was considering dropping support for LibreSSL, a fork of the OpenSSL cryptography library. While LibreSSL was intended to be smaller, lighter, and more secure, a lot of work and improvements have gone into OpenSSL while not many Linux packages are tested against LibreSSL, causing problems for their maintainers. The extra effort to maintain compatibility with LibreSSL while new features arrive in OpenSSL first has caused the Void team to switch from running LibreSSL back to OpenSSL. "The Void Linux team is switching back to OpenSSL on March 5th, 2021 (2021-03-05). For most users, there should be no noticeable change. If you have any packages installed that are no longer provided by Void, or your system has explicit dependencies on LibreSSL, you will of course need to take action to ensure your system continues to function after the switch." |
