Distro

• openssl 3.4: there are issues in revdeps (3 or 4 known at this time):
  • nodejs because openssl 3.4 changed behavior for shake (XOFs don’t have intrinsic output sizes) and the solution seems to be to skip the affected tests for now and upstream will probably need a light API change
  • ruby3.3: stricter X509_REQ_set_version() in openssl 3.4, MR at Merge into ubuntu/devel : plucky-test-failures-openssl-3.4 : lp:~adrien/ubuntu/+source/ruby3.3 : Git : Code : ruby3.3 package : Ubuntu
  • m2crypto: stricter X509_REQ_set_version() in openssl 3.4, there’s a patch available but…
    • m2crypto: FTBFS with openssl 3.4 and the realistic fix is not completely satisfactory while the completely good one is probably near impossible (teach select() to SWIG)
• openmpi transition
