Hello,
I just wanted to update you quickly about the upcoming Core Update 91 release plan.
There will be a new OpenSSL release at some time today (Thursday) which fixes several security vulnerabilities in this library. We do not know much about the severity of those vulnerabilities, yet, but we will release a new Core Update any ways.
The changes that have been pushed into the next branch will be released as well with an exception of Python. The Python package won't build on some systems and due to lack of time to debug this properly the Python update has been postponed.
As soon as the OpenSSL update is released we will start the build. We expect this to be late at night (as it has been in the past) and therefore the will be a build available Friday morning/noon European time. The ARM build will take much longer to complete though.
We will push that build to the testing tree so that as many people can help testing as possibly can.
If everything goes well we intend to release the final update 24 hours after that - which will be Saturday some time after mid day.
Best, -Michael
P.S. I was asked to send a short release plan for Core Updates on this list because it is not so easy to find out what the current status is sometimes. I would like your feedback about if this is a good idea and if this is helping. I am hoping that it is helping us to engage more testers into the testing procedure of new Core Updates and let you plan some time for doing that.
Michael,
I for one appreciate this kind of message. It lets me plan my testing and deployment planning.
Thank you,
Rod

Quick update: There is a ABI breakage in the OpenSSL package which needs to be fixed upstream. The OpenSSL developers sent out an email to everyone announcing that a new release will be uploaded today.
After that has been done we will rebuild the update and re-upload.
While we are at it we will include an other security update for strongswan.

Hello,
the OpenSSL Team has released a hotfix update for an ABI breakage short after uploading the build to testing so we are forced to update the core91 package. If you have installed core91 already please check the OpenSSL version. If this is older than 1.0.2c please reinstall core91 by resetting /opt/pakfire/db/core/mine to 90 and upgrade again.
This hotfix will fix the hostapd and maybee more problems.

Hello Arne,
just installed the new core update a couple of minutes ago.
I did some quick tests, hostapd now is starting again without any problems and all of my VPN connections got established.
I will do some more testing and reporting if there are still any issues.
