can you please introduce the package on factory ml?
LibreSSL is a fork of OpenSSL which has been stripped of old, unused code and code for defunct/historic OSes. The plan is increased auditability and security. (You probably already heard in the news.)
There is a conference video on LibreSSL at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnBbhXBDmwU for interested parties. From that presentation, I also gather:
- openssl implements its own meomry allocator which defeats valgrind's memory leack checker because that allocator never frees anything
I already fixed that in the openSSL package.. it is built without this horrible hack.
- new features added to libressl: ChaCha stream cipher, poly1305 (MAC)
This will appear in future versions of openSSL as well. -- Cristian "I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
