upgrade OpenSSL to OpenSSL 1.0.1-8

[matrix007]

Hello all,

I want to update my OpenSSL on my FreeBSD to the last version openssl 1.0.1_8, but I didn't find the good method, I have this version OpenSSL 0.9.8q 2 Dec 2010.

Could you help me? If yes, how can I proceed?

What version of FreeBSD is this? OpenSSL is part of the base OS, so keeping that up to date also keeps OpenSSL up to date.

I have 8.2 version of FreeBSD.

 

[SirDice]

Please upgrade to 8.3, 8.2 has been end-of-life since July 2012.

 

[matrix007]

Yes I know, but I would use this version of OpenSSL in 8.2 version of FreeBSD.

 

[SirDice]

Sorry, but that's not supported.

I don't understand, did you mean that the OpenSSL 1.0.1_8 version can't be installed on 8.2 version of FreeBSD.

I don't understand, did you mean that the OpenSSL 1.0.1_8 version can't be installed on 8.2 version of FreeBSD.

No, I'm saying that FreeBSD 8.2 is not supported any more since July 2012.

Which means that the community cannot be expected to support it either. We have enough work with the supported versions, and going from 8.2 to 8.3 isn't exactly rocket surgery.

Ok, but what is the method to update it?

By the way, how can I uninstall the OpenSSL from FreeBSD?

WITHOUT_OPENSSL=1 in /etc/src.conf and then make buildworld installworld in /usr/src followed by make delete-old delete-old-libs.
