Post by RandallPost by RandallPost by RandallThe ITUGLIB team is currently involved in build/test of OpenSSL 1.1.1p and 3.0.4. As of now, we are having a lot of success with 3.0.4 and it should show up on the website some time tomorrow. The 1.1.1p build, however, has issues and is failing a number of tests including hard-looping/stack corruption of anything relating to the BN subset of cryptographic algorithms. I am looking into the cause but are not currently expecting that this patch will be made available or recommended. More to come...
It turns out that the test suite does not like running without verbose mode. At this point, only the ecparam test is failing, which is the same as 1.1.1o, so things are looking better. I will update when the test cycles are all done and packages available.
I am trying a new build technique for 1.1. Instead of running each build it its own job, all builds will run in one pipeline. This should significantly improve checkout speed, which is the bottleneck on our J-series machine. The L-series OSSNS process is significantly faster but even with that, checkout is still the rate-limiting step for OpenSSL builds. There are over 20000 files in the repository, so that is a big checkout. More to come. We probably will push the L-series builds to the ITUGLIB website as soon as they are ready.
We are currently having some heating/cooling issues and as a result the ITUGLIB website might not be available temporarily. If you urgently need to build OpenSSL 3.0.4, please clone it from https://github.com/openssl/openssl.git or download the tarball from https://www.openssl.org/source/. For OpenSSL 1.1.1p, clone from https://github.com/ituglib/openssl.git and use the ituglib_release branch or OpenSSL_1_1_1p_NSK tag. Running ./Configure should give you the appropriate build, but the normal builds for J-series are ./Configure nonstop-nse, and for L-series ./Configure nonstop-nsx_64, then run make. You need to have /usr/coreutils/bin in your PATH. The build will use the c99 compiler in OSS, so you will need that too. There should not be any other prerequisites - if you find any, please let us know here.
