F37 Change: MinGW OpenSSL 3.x update (Self-Contained Change proposal)
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F37MingwOpenSSL3
== Summary ==
Update OpenSSL for MinGW to version 3.x
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:smani|Sandro Mani]]
* Email: manisandro(a)gmail.com
== Detailed Description ==
mingw-openssl will be updated to version 3.x. The following
dependencies will be rebuilt:
* mingw-spice-gtk (will be updated to version 0.39)
* mingw-spice-protocol (will be updated to 0.14.3)
* mingw-qt6-qtbase
* mingw-qca
* mingw-gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free
* mingw-curl
* mingw-python3
* mingw-postgresql
* mingw-podofo
* mingw-opusfile
* mingw-minizip
* mingw-libssh2
* mingw-gdal
* mingw-openssl
== Benefit to Fedora ==
Ship up-to-date OpenSSL libraries for MinGW.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners: mingw-openssl will be updated and the mentioned
dependencies rebuilt.
* Other developers: No action required
* Release engineering: Mass rebuild requested
* Policies and guidelines: No policies need to be changed
== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
No impact
== How To Test ==
If your application uses OpenSSL to communicate via TLS or perform
other tasks that use cryptographic algorithms from OpenSSL, please
test whether it continues to work properly. This should be covered by
the comprehensive upstream testsuite of OpenSSL. However many
dependent packages also provide good test coverage of OpenSSL
functionality.
== User Experience ==
There should be no impact on end-user experience.
== Dependencies ==
None
== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency mechanism: Revert to older versions of environment /
toolchain, mass rebuild mingw packages again
* Contingency deadline: Before release
* Blocks release? Yes
* Blocks product? No
== Release Notes ==
Fedora 37 comes with mingw-openssl-3.x.
