# Maintaining OpenSSL This document describes how to update `deps/openssl/`. ## Requirements * Linux environment. * `perl` Only Perl version 5 is tested. * `nasm` () Version 2.11 or higher is needed. * GNU `as` in binutils. Version 2.26 or higher is needed. ## 0. Check Requirements ```console % perl -v This is perl 5, version 22, subversion 1 (v5.22.1) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi (with 60 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail) % as --version GNU assembler (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.26.1 Copyright (C) 2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc. ... % nasm -v NASM version 2.11.08 ``` ## 1. Obtain and extract new OpenSSL sources Get a new source from and extract all files into `deps/openssl/openssl`. Then add all files and commit them. ```console % cd deps/openssl/ % rm -rf openssl % tar zxf ~/tmp/openssl-1.1.0h.tar.gz % mv openssl-1.1.0h openssl % git add --all openssl % git commit openssl ```` The commit message can be written as (with the openssl version set to the relevant value): ```text deps: upgrade openssl sources to 1.1.0h This updates all sources in deps/openssl/openssl by: $ cd deps/openssl/ $ rm -rf openssl $ tar zxf ~/tmp/openssl-1.1.0h.tar.gz $ mv openssl-1.1.0h openssl $ git add --all openssl $ git commit openssl ``` ## 2. Execute `make` in `deps/openssl/config` directory Use `make` to regenerate all platform dependent files in `deps/openssl/config/archs/`: ```console % make -C deps/openssl/config ``` ## 3. Check diffs Check diffs to ensure updates are right. Even if there are no updates in openssl sources, `buildinf.h` files will be updated because they have timestamp data in them. ```console % git diff -- deps/openssl ``` *Note*: On Windows, OpenSSL Configure generates a `makefile` that can be used for the `nmake` command. The `make` command in step 2 (above) uses `Makefile_VC-WIN64A` and `Makefile_VC-WIN32` that are manually created. When source files or build options are updated in Windows, it needs to change these two Makefiles by hand. If you are not sure, please ask @shigeki for details. ## 4. Commit and make test Update all architecture dependent files. Do not forget to git add or remove files if they are changed before committing: ```console % git add deps/openssl/config/archs % git add deps/openssl/openssl/include/crypto/bn_conf.h % git add deps/openssl/openssl/include/crypto/dso_conf.h % git add deps/openssl/openssl/include/openssl/opensslconf.h % git commit ``` The commit message can be written as (with the openssl version set to the relevant value): ```text deps: update archs files for OpenSSL-1.1.0 After an OpenSSL source update, all the config files need to be regenerated and committed by: $ make -C deps/openssl/config $ git add deps/openssl/config/archs $ git add deps/openssl/openssl/include/crypto/bn_conf.h $ git add deps/openssl/openssl/include/crypto/dso_conf.h $ git add deps/openssl/openssl/include/openssl/opensslconf.h $ git commit ``` Finally, build Node.js and run the tests.
