Description Danie de Jager 2024-11-12 13:02:06 UTC
Description of problem:
I'm merely wondering why there is a package for openssl 3.2.2 in epel8 but epel9 does not package openssl at all and the OS itself is using 3.0.7. Could openssl3 be packages for epel9 as well?
Should the version for epel8 not be updated to the latest 3.2.3?

Hi Danie!

openssl3 in epel8 is a backport from the openssl in c9s, which is version 3.2.2 - I don't think we really want to maintain a newer version than that and deal with security issues ourselves

❯ fedrq pkgs openssl -b c9s
openssl-1:3.2.2-6.el9.src
openssl-1:3.2.2-6.el9.x86_64

This is also why we don't have, nor need, openssl3 in epel9 and above
