First Release of LibreSSL Portable Is Available

Posted by Soulskill on from the cryptic-announcements dept.

ConstantineM writes: It has finally happened. Bob Beck of The OpenBSD Foundation has just announced that the first release of LibreSSL portable is now available, and can be found in the LibreSSL directory of your favourite OpenBSD mirror. libressl-2.0.0.tar.gz has been tested to build on various versions of Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X and FreeBSD. This is intended to be an initial portable release of OpenBSD's libressl to allow the community to start using it and providing feedback, and has been done to address the issue of incorrect portable versions being attempted by third-parties. Support for additional platforms will be added as time and resources permit.

    Oh good, now we can get that vital VMS, DOS, and MacOS 7 support so they're not stuck on OpenSSL.

    I read the internet for the articles.

    Which I already eliminated that possibility saying I was building it at home. I'd also like to believe that there are very few security critical things still using IRIX, even though I know better (at least SGI was still releasing security patches until this year....).

    I'm starting to think GNU is the problem with "GNU/Linux" these days.
