libssl 1.1 packages for sparc and intel




	A libssl 1.1 package is available for intel and sparc for 2.4
which will incorporate the RSA algorithm into libssl if your location
and situation legally allow you to do so. 

	The RSA algorithm, (which is used for key exchange by all web
browsers) can not be included in OpenBSD due to software patents in
certain countries which make it not free. Software compiled against
the libssl 1.0 shared library (such as the /usr/sbin/ssleay that comes
with 2.4) should not need to be recompiled when this package is
installed, they will make use of the 1.1 library automatically once it
is installed.

	To install:

pkg_add ftp://ftp.openbsd.org:/pub/OpenBSD/2.4/packages/i386/libssl-1.1.tgz
or
pkg_add ftp://ftp.openbsd.org:/pub/OpenBSD/2.4/packages/sparc/libssl-1.1.tgz

	Do be sure that you are entitled to use the RSA algorithm before 
installing.
