[Pkg-openssl-devel] autopkgtest on openssl

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

Hi,

openssl has a migration time of 15 days due to missing autopkgtest which
adds +10 days. I fixed the alpha & _all fallout so getting autopkgtest
added before the next upload would be good I guess.

Any idea what would make sense?
I was thinking about some `openssl' commands like `enc' or `x509' for
cert signing, verification and maybe expire time.
That is probably a subset of what openssl's testsuite does but it does
not run against the *installed* version of binary + libs. And we should
not compile it (the whole source packag). Some tests however require
compiled binaries (there are test/*.c files which are invoked as part of
the testsuite).
So here I am wondering if we should ping upstream if they would help to
sort that out (so that we can compile only the testsuite and run it
against the installed binaries/libs) or if we should do some minimal
`openssl' binary tests.
