The following reply was made to PR ports/145769; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Tim Katz <tim.katz@yahoo.com> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, areilly@bigpond.net.au Cc: Subject: Re: ports/145769: final link of mail/fetchmail fails libhx509.so undefined reference to MD2_Init etc Date: Sat, 1 May 2010 07:33:16 -0700 (PDT) Andrew: You may be on to something. Quoting from the OpenSSL changelog (http://www.openssl.org/news/changelog.html): ----Begin Quote---- Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx] ... *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration. [Steve Henson] ... ---End Quote--- You can confirm this yourself by running "make options" from /usr/ports/security/openssl, and seeing that the MD2 option is indeed disabled by default, the reason being listed as "(obsolote)". So, if the OpenSSL programmers think it should be dropped because it's obsolete, I have no problem with you doing it as well. :) Thanks for looking into this. Hopefully other port maintainers will follow suit and drop MD2 as well, so their ported programs will build successfully, and we can all move on with our lives. ;) Regards, Tim
