Question Upgrading Openssl


Hello All!

It's a nice-looking RHL 8 system with version
Openssl-0.9.6b-29. Needs to be upgraded to latest
version of Openssl.

A note on www.openssl.org:
http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html#BUILD8
The above refers to a "RHL 7.0 and later"

1. Anybody knows the best way to do an "upgrade" of
openssl w/o breaking other programs in the system?

I did an rpm-e openssl, & it lists other programs that
depend on it. Although it can be forced to ignore
dependencies, best not to with openssl, I think.

2. Should a source/binary/rpm be installed & assume it
will all be fine? I guess that can be done.

Thanks to All!

Carlos

If you can find an RPM of a newer openssl for RH 8 you can invoke rpm with the -F option to upgrade to it. Since you're running an EOL'ed Red Hat, you should probably check out the Fedora Legacy project at www.fedoralegacy.org .
