[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#88728: openssl: fixed ages ago in 0.9.7

[Jason Cormie]

Package: openssl
Followup-For: Bug #88728


in the openssl changelog it says that 0.9.7 had the ability to try
/dev/random if it didnt find /dev/urandom

http://www.openssl.org/news/changelog.html

 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
    random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient
    amount of data has been collected.   We spend at most 10 ms on each
    file (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode.
    DEVRANDOM now defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random",
    "/dev/srandom" (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
    platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.

I assume this means the bug can be closed
