[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#362754: Removal of RC5 and MDC2 algorithms is not clearly documented

[Ilya Konstantinov]

Package: libssl0.9.8

Version: 0.9.8a-8


Although the library is modified from its default form of including RC5 
and MDC2, there's no README describing those changes clearly to 
developers. This is very problematic since the removal of the algorithms 
modifies the library's exported functions.


In addition, the EVP_CipherInit(3) manpage, when mentioning the 
problematic ciphers, should say they were disabled.
