OpenSSL 1.1.1 End Of Life
by tjallen from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6ENVY)
Today is the official end of life for OpenSSL 1.1.1. I'm wondering what the path forward for Slackware 15.0 is.
It would seem increasingly unsafe to continue using OpenSSL 1.1.1 if it's not getting any more security updates, and a premium support contract is out of the question.
I'd rather not move to -current as during much of the year I have very little time to deal with breakage and need my machines to be as stable as possible, but perhaps that's the price of security.
Is it possible to upgrade to version 3.1.2 of OpenSSL and recompile all packages that depend on OpenSSL? Given that version 1.1.1 is still in -current alongside version 3.1.2, I'd guess that some packages aren't ready for v3 yet and wouldn't recompile.
What are people going to do?
