We can leave -lmd but remove all the redundat functions from it. With the weak-symbol magic it can remain ABI compatible (MD5Final pointing to -lcrypto's MD5_Final, for example). The headers mdX.h will simply include openssl/mdX.h and provide compatibility defines. As far as -lcrypto being export controlled, my impression was, that it is only -lssl, that is, no? In any case, an export-control-compliant -lmd can still be made as a subset of -lcrypto with what's now in -lmd. This will take some easy but highly frustrating work with a few buildworld breakages :-) -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
