Description

Rebuild openssl-1.0.2 packages from https://koji.fedoraproject.org/ for CentOS/RHEL 7.x

Motivation

The OpenSSL version shipped is rather outdated, and, more importantly will not be supported any more.

Also available is the 1.0.2 series. This is also our Long Term Support (LTS) version (support will be provided until 31st December 2019). The 1.0.1 version is currently only receiving security bug fixes and all support will be discontinued for this version on 31st December 2016.

OpenSSL Download Page Note

The built packages should be binary compatible with all packages that depend on OpenSSL currently shipped with CentOS/RHEL 7.x (judging from the head of the specfile 1.0.0 soversion = 10)

Features

OpenSSL 1.0.2 includes a number of improvements, most importantly, support for ALPN (e.i. enabling HTTP2). For a full list have a look at https://www.openssl.org/news/openssl-1.0.2-notes.html.
