svn diff for security/heimdal

heimdal unconditionally relies on RAND_egd which makes building fail with LibreSSL which has removed EGD. FreeBSD does not require EGD at all, /dev/random has been available since FreeBSD 4.2

The patch checks for the LibreSSL by looking for LIBRESSL_VERSION_NUMBER which is defined in openssl/opensslv.h and disables code that requires egd. Couldn't find a clean spot to check for RAND_egd in configure like so

AC_CHECK_LIB(crypto, RAND_egd, AC_DEFINE(HAVE_RAND_EGD, 1, [Define if the libcrypto has RAND_egd]))
Comment 1 Bernard Spil freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-03-11 19:57:35 UTC
Wanted to upstream the patch, but there's been a change in heimdal master where RAND_EGD is disabled for Windows it seems...

patch for security/heimdal

The attached patch integrates Bernards changes with security/heimdal and adds the autoconf check to cf/crypto which was missing in the previous diff.
Port now uses autoconf, needed to regen configure script.
Bump port rev

svn diff for security/heimdal

This patch improves on the previous patch by properly detecting EGD support in configure. No need to delete EGD support from bundled heimdal crypto lib.
Comment 4 Bernard Spil freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-04-28 19:20:11 UTC
Upstream implemented this in https://github.com/heimdal/heimdal/pull/124

svn diff for security/heimdal

Adapted/simplified the patch to work with the new OPENSSL_NO_EGD define that was recently added to LibreSSL's headers.

Bernard, Great job getting libressl to build and the obvious effort that you have put in to getting the upstream ports/folks to accept the changes necessary to build various ports using libressl.  (per https://wiki.freebsd.org/LibreSSL and attached pages)

Hiroki,
Is there any chance of getting the patches into security/heimdal/files as a permanent fix?  

As an aside, as EGD appears to provide no benefit on "modern" operating systems which take care of system entropy, then why not remove the unnecessary function call (RAND_egd) altogether?

This will have to be applied as a permanent fix, OpenSSL 1.1.0 also disables EGD support by default. Fortunately it uses the same OPENSSL_NO_EGD define as LibreSSL does.

I've just created the security/openssl-devel port for OpenSSL 1.1.0, see review D5484

Correct, but projects try to keep all options open. The #ifndef guards should suffice.
Comment 10 Zach Leslie freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-04-04 23:47:16 UTC
Thank you for the efforts.  I'm just now trying to get all my systems to use libressl and am eagerly awaiting this.
Comment 11 Bernard Spil freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-04-07 19:50:03 UTC
Upstream request https://github.com/heimdal/heimdal/pull/167
Comment 12 Bernard Spil freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-04-07 19:51:39 UTC
This is now also relevant for OpenSSL 1.1.0 which disables EGD by default at build time and defines OPENSSL_NO_EGD (like LibreSSL does)
Comment 13 Zach Leslie freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-05-27 15:00:33 UTC
Looks like upstream was merged.  Is this able to proceed?  Any other blockers?
