[csw-maintainers] openssl vs certs

[Ben Walton]

Hi All,

A package I'm working on has it's source hosted on a site that is
https only (fedorahosted.org).  The ssl cert there is signed by
equifax (as evidenced using: openssl s_client -connect
fedorahosted.org:443 -showcerts).  It seems that the CSW openssl
package doesn't provide the required certificate chain to verify it,
which is causing wget to bail out (without extra options, anyway).

As I've never built openssl, I don't know if this is a build omission
or simply that the required files weren't manually collected, and
distributed with the package...I'll open a bug for this issue if it
actually is a bug.  If it's intentional, let me know.  [It looks like
rhel provides the equifax cert(s) with openssl and debian/ubuntu via
ca-certificates.]

For reference, this can be verified via:
/opt/csw/bin/wget https://fedorahosted.org/xmlto/export/1/xmlto-0.0.21.tar.bz2

Thanks
-Ben
