https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D215197 --- Comment #7 from John Hein <z7dr6ut7gs@snkmail.com> --- Peter, sorry for not reading your original post closely enough and piggybac= king the FreeBSD 9 issue here. Perhaps I should open a new bug for that, but hopefully someone will pick up that patch and apply it. If not, I'll move = to a new bug. The least I can do is dig into your issue more closely. It looks like libr= essl has had CMS disabled upstream since "day one". I haven't really been follo= wing libressl much, but it seems they just have not implemented CMS. And in September they removed it from libressl-portable (commit df207699777fe7a671df25998808dac473903678). So it seems like libressl is avoiding CMS at the least. In any case, I don= 't see an easy fix. The crypt-smime change in 0.91 says: +0.19 Fri Dec 2 13:22:27 JST 2016 + - Use RFC-5652 CMS functions instead of PKCS#7 ones for better + interoperability, Suggested by Hib Engler <h [...] + killercool.net>. CMS has a backwards compatibility with + PKCS#7 so the change should introduce no compat issues. I did see another project where there was a workaround to fall back to pkcs= #7 : https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8463141/ In any case, I still don't know what the fix is for your issue (which seems= to perhaps be more of a problem with libressl?). If CMS is disabled by libres= sl for good reasons, perhaps Crypt-SMIME is going in the wrong direction. But= it could be that libressl is just sweeping it under the rug since they don't w= ant to deal with CMS right now. I can't read the tea leaves well enough to discern. Maybe a libressl expert could help more. Again, sorry for my too-hasty initial read of your bug report and the ensui= ng confusion. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
