Dependencies for packages exposing OpenSSL binary interface to Perl code
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
|
|
This information is only relevant for maintainers of Debian packages
|
|
of Perl XS modules dealing with OpenSSL.
|
|
|
|
Packages exposing libssl binary objects like SSL_CTX struct pointers
|
|
to Perl code need to be compiled against the same version of OpenSSL to
|
|
avoid binary incompatibility issues. See <https://bugs.debian.org/848113>.
|
|
|
|
Compatibility can be ensured by depending on the "perl-openssl-abi-x"
|
|
virtual package, where the name is dynamically generated from the SONAME
|
|
of the libssl.so symlink included in the libssl-dev package. There can
|
|
be only one such package on the system at a time, so this guarantees
|
|
that all the installed packages share the same compatibility level.
|
|
|
|
To generate this dependency, please build-depend on perl-openssl-defaults
|
|
and do one of the following:
|
|
|
|
debhelper using dh:
|
|
|
|
Use the "perl_openssl" addon and ensure ${perl:Depends} is used in
|
|
debian/control.
|
|
|
|
The debian/rules file might look as follows:
|
|
|
|
#!/usr/bin/make -f
|
|
%:
|
|
dh $@ --with perl_openssl
|
|
|
|
old-style debhelper:
|
|
|
|
Run dh_perl_openssl after dh_perl and ensure ${perl:Depends} is used in
|
|
debian/control.
|
|
|
|
packages not using debhelper:
|
|
|
|
Include /usr/share/perl-openssl-defaults/perl-openssl.make in debian
|
|
rules and use PERL_OPENSSL_ABI_VERSION.
