[ITA] openssl, openssl10, mingw64-{i686,x86_64}-openssl

[Achim Gratz]

As I wrote about a month ago:

https://sourceware.org/pipermail/cygwin-apps/2021-October/041632.html
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/cygwin-apps/2021-November/041651.html

I have updated the recently released Cygwin packages with all upstream
patches from Fedora plus the patches for all CVE affecting version 1.0.2
since the last official version and changed the cygport files so they
build on AppVeyor.  The packages have been pushed to the respective
playground branches:

https://cygwin.com/git-cygwin-packages?p=git/cygwin-packages/openssl10.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/playground
https://cygwin.com/git-cygwin-packages?p=git/cygwin-packages/openssl.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/playground

For the MinGW64 packages the current plan (based on the previous
discussion) is to update them with the 1.0.2 version and provide the
1.1.1 version (without renaming the packages or introducing any new
package names) as a test version only.  This means that the existing
packages depending on mingw64-{i686,x86_64}-openssl will still work
correctly, but can be rebuilt using the 1.1.1 version by chosing the
test version (whatever the likelyhood of that actually happening is).

no problem for the 3 orphaned, but we should ask Corinna about openssl

She's said numerous times that she doesn't really want it… I wouldn't
mind to just co-maintain in any case.

Possibly, most recently was on IRC 2021-10-22:

[09:49:41] <corinna> Stromeko, I didn't do anything with OpenSSL for a long time
[09:50:13] <corinna> I would be glad if somebody could take over the package

Her earliest offer to yield package maintenance of openssl that I've
found was from 2010…  :-)

FWIW, I have been using the cygwin-provided MinGW64 environment for
porting lighttpd to native Windows.  It is the only working environment
I found where I did not have to bootstrap everything from scratch.

If one does not want to build everything statically and does not want
to build one's own distro-like package management on top of Windows,
one finds themselves SoL on Windows if one thinks Microsoft cares.
Developing on Microsoft platforms is an awful experience for anything
beyond a trivial app.

Achim, thank you for your efforts on MinGW64 packages.

Cheers, Glenn
