65 | o 0.9.8-dev: COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT do not |
66 | handle ECCdraft cipher suites correctly. | |
67 | ||
91b842c9 | 68 | o apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file |

2ec077d8 RE |
74 | o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing: |
75 | ||
76 | 1. The config vs. Configure scripts | |
77 | It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs. | |
78 | src/Configure. It confuses. | |
79 | Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure | |
80 | script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove | |
81 | Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf | |
82 | itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks | |
83 | which are currently in Configure. | |
84 | ||
a6f20a1e RE |
85 | o Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least |
86 | for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff | |
87 | Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the | |
88 | solution to be really simple. | |
89 | ||
90 | Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the | |
91 | compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache | |
92 | into the OpenSSL Configure script. | |
93 | ||

94 | Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake, |
95 | which apparently is not flexible enough to generate | |
96 | libcrypto) | |

100 | o Add variants of DH_generate_parameters() and BN_generate_prime() [etc?] |
101 | where the callback function can request that the function be aborted. | |

112 | Tom Holroyd tells us there is a SRP patch for OpenSSH at | |
113 | http://members.tripod.com/professor_tom/archives/, that could | |
114 | be useful. |
