    Hi,

    I have a quick question regarding the preference of version with regard to OpenSSL. The OpenSSL recipe includes both versions 0.9.8m and 1.0.0a. I checked the OpenSSL website, they listed 1.0.0 as the latest stable version. I put in the statement DEFAULT PREFERENCE = -1 in the bitbake file of the 1.0.0a version file to use it as I thought it better. My question is that was there any preference given to the 0.9.8m version over the 1.0.0a version? Such as was the former tested by Multitech? Or was it merely because 1.0.0a was not a stable version yet? I would appreciate any comments/advice/suggestions on which is the best version to use.

    Best Regards,

    JM

    The default preference of 0.9.8m was just set by Angstrom+OpenEmbedded which CoreCDP is based on. Because it was the default, it was tested and verified to build and work. You are certainly welcome to try any newer OpenSSL release. Sometimes its as easy as copying an old recipe and updating the version number and SRC_URI — it just depends on the situation.
