[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#828457: nodejs: FTBFS with openssl 1.1.0

[Kurt Roeckx]

Source: nodejs
Version: 4.4.3~dfsg-1
Severity: important
Control: block 827061 by -1

Hi,

OpenSSL 1.1.0 is about to released.  During a rebuild of all packages using
OpenSSL this package fail to build.  A log of that build can be found at:
https://breakpoint.cc/openssl-1.1-rebuild-2016-05-29/Attempted/nodejs_4.4.3~dfsg-1_amd64-20160529-1457

On https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/1.1_API_Changes you can see various of the
reasons why it might fail.  There are also updated man pages at
https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/ that should contain useful information.

There is a libssl-dev package available in experimental that contains a recent
snapshot, I suggest you try building against that to see if everything works.

If you have problems making things work, feel free to contact us.


Kurt
