Description Troy Dawson 2021-09-22 21:24:33 UTC

Description of problem:
Programs are starting to need openssl3.
If it is at all possible, we, the EPEL community, are asking for openssl 3.x to be put into RHEL 8.

Comment 1 Sahana Prasad 2021-09-30 12:40:41 UTC

Hi Troy,
unfortunately we don't have any customer request or any specific features from OpenSSL 3.0.0 that we need in RHEL-8.
So we would not be porting it to RHEL-8 and we don't have any  plans to do it in the future.
I would be closing this issue for now.
Feel free to reach out to rhel-crypto ML if you need any more details. Thank you

Troy, you could add OpenSSL 3.0.0 in EPEL and ensure the name doesn't conflict with 1.1.1

There are plans to figure out, and add openssl3 to epel.
Because it will be a little tricky to do, and then maintain, we wanted to check to see if it was possible to get it into RHEL8.  Thus this bug.

I will not be the person putting it in epel8, but there are other people who are working on getting openssl3 in epel8.
I don't have a timeline yet, because it will be tricky.
