45 o The Makefiles fail with some SysV makes.
54 o Steve is currently working on (in no particular order):
55 ASN1 code redesign, butchery, replacement.
57 EVP cipher enhancement.
58 Enhanced certificate chain verification.
59 Private key, certificate and CRL API and implementation.
60 Developing and bugfixing PKCS#7 (S/MIME code).
61 Various X509 issues: character sets, certificate request extensions.
62 o Richard is currently working on:
64 Attribute Certificate support
65 Certificate Pair support
66 Storage Engines (primarly an LDAP storage engine)
67 Certificate chain validation with full RFC 3280 compatibility
71 o 0.9.8-dev: COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT do not
72 handle ECCdraft cipher suites correctly.
74 o apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
76 o "OpenSSL STATUS" is never up-to-date.
80 o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
82 1. The config vs. Configure scripts
83 It's the same nasty situation as for Apache with APACI vs.
84 src/Configure. It confuses.
85 Suggestion: Merge Configure and config into a single configure
86 script with a Autoconf style interface ;-) and remove
87 Configure and config. Or even let us use GNU Autoconf
88 itself. Then we can avoid a lot of those platform checks
89 which are currently in Configure.
91 o Support for Shared Libraries has to be added at least
92 for the major Unix platforms. The details we can rip from the stuff
93 Ralf has done for the Apache src/Configure script. Ben wants the
94 solution to be really simple.
96 Status: Ralf will look how we can easily incorporate the
97 compiler PIC and linker DSO flags from Apache
98 into the OpenSSL Configure script.
100 Ulf: +1 for using GNU autoconf and libtool (but not automake,
101 which apparently is not flexible enough to generate
106 o Add variants of DH_generate_parameters() and BN_generate_prime() [etc?]
107 where the callback function can request that the function be aborted.
