Bug#767661: openssl: new upstream release 1.0.2 for jessie



Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi,

I would like to upload the new upstream release of openssl 1.0.2
to unstable to get it into jessie.  I know I'm a little late with
this.  It's actually not released yet, but it should be real soon
now.  (It's been in experimental for a while.)

This version should be compatible with the 1.0.1 version.  I don't
expect anything to break moving from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2.

The main reason I want to have 1.0.2 in jessie is to be able to
support openssl for the lifetime of jessie.  1.0.1 will not be
supported for the lifetime of jessie, while 1.0.2 should be
supported long enough to even cover the TLS version of jessie
if there is going to be an LTS version.


Kurt
