poudriere build log for net/openldap-client-2.4.59

net/openldap24-client 2.4.59 fails to build with the following errors from ld:
ld: error: ./.libs/libldap.so: undefined reference to SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites
ld: error: ./.libs/libldap.so: undefined reference to SSL_set_ciphersuites

Probably caused by DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= ssl=libressl

Same here, libressl also.

    net/openldap24-server: Mark IGNORE when libressl is chosen for now.

    The current release of libressl does not yet provide OpenSSL style
    TLSv1.3 API which is required by OpenLDAP cd3567d75 (ITS#9521).

Caused by https://git.openldap.org/openldap/openldap/-/commit/a48267c234031742fb99367f9245770b9f3288ea

Just change the preprocessor guards to also have !defined(LIBRESSL_VERSION_NUMBER) because OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER will always be greater than 1.1.1 in LibreSSL case. The build then succeeds, and we won't need to IGNORE.
Comment 4 Charlie Li freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-06-06 22:27:55 UTC
See also: undecided if upstream will officially support LibreSSL, which factors into whether we should carry our own patches. (upstream ITS reported by brnrd@)
Comment 5 Xin LI freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-06-06 23:01:34 UTC
(In reply to Charlie Li from comment #3)
No, please don't do that.

Instead, I think a more elegant solution would be to test OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_3, e.g.:

#if OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER >= 0x10101000 && !defined(OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_3)

because it appears that the libressl developers might implement the OpenSSL style TLSv1.3 APIs in the future.

I've filed a separate bug at upstream as well.
Comment 6 Charlie Li freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-06-07 00:05:07 UTC
(In reply to Xin LI from comment #5)
True, they have implemented some, but not all, of the TLSv1.3 API, and every release with some TLSv1.3 has a note to that effect. For this issue specifically, SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites(3) and SSL_set_ciphersuites(3) do not currently exist at all in LibreSSL.

As for the upstream comment

Not happening, because OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER being the same as LIBRESSL_VERSION_NUMBER is correct, there is no lie.

Claiming itself to be OpenSSL 2.0 is indeed a lie, or at least a choice with poor taste.

It's generally accepted that software that tries to provide compatibility to a competitor to claim to be that competitor of a version in the past.  For example, almost all browsers claim themselves be Mozilla/5.0; clang claims to be GNU C 4.2, etc, FreeBSD C runtime library claims to be from FreeBSD 7.0, etc.  In all these cases, compatibility is taken seriously and even if it's not necessarily possible to provide 100% compatibility, code written for the competing software is highly likely to work with the new software without any modifications.

By claiming to be OpenSSL 2.0, libressl might have created an incentive for software writers to add more special case #if's and be compatible with libressl, and yet, not having to do these #if's for legacy software is actually one thing that they were doing the first round of code cleanup of OpenSSL codebase.  They should instead either define OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER be the last OpenSSL version that they can actually support, or stop claiming they were OpenSSL.

    net/openldap24-server: fix build with LibreSSL

    Modify the OpenSSL 1.1.1 preprocessor guards to also account for
    LibreSSL missing certain functions, particularly
    SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites(3) and SSL_set_ciphersuites(3). While here,
    un-IGNORE for ${SSL_DEFAULT:Mlibressl*}.

    PORTREVISION intentionally not bumped as this is a build fix.

Comment 11 lysfjord.daniel 2021-06-07 16:12:48 UTC
They're technically not missing, LibreSSL just didn't add specific ones for TLS1.3, so they have the same names as the <TLS1.3 functions (unless I've misunderstood something):
https://man.openbsd.org/SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list.3
Comment 12 Cameron 2021-06-07 21:52:32 UTC
I'm encountering the same issue with libressl and openldap24-sasl-client.
