[csw-maintainers] openssl relinking effort

[Yann Rouillard]

Hi Ben,

That's a really good idea !
However relinking all the packages can take some times (hey there are still
3 packages linked with openssl 0.9.7), maybe it might be more efficient to
focus first on the ones that really cause some problems.

Until now, I only know about libneon (which explicitely checks for ssl
version mismatch):
https://www.opencsw.org/mantis/view.php?id=4947

I suppose we should look first for every package linked with openssl which
depend on a library also linked with openssl.
Can we easily extract that information from the database ?

Yann
