The "correct" thing to do would probably be to bump up the PR on all recipes that might include, directly or indirectly, openssh libs -- thus forcing them all to link against the new version... However, that seemed to be an awful lot of packages, and given that at least some of the distros already have over-rides to select matching versions for openssl and openssl-native, this would seem to cause more problems than it would solve. So anticipate that your builds may fail if a new version of openssl is built; the failure mode would be the inability for the app to find the old version of the library in the staging area. Quite frankly, I found it easier to just blow away tmpdir on the nslu2-linux autobuilders; they needed a fresh start anyway. ;-) And now python-native works correctly. Regards, Mike (mwester)
