This isn't "another look"; OpenSSL is not affiliated with OpenBSD/OpenSSH, despite the similar name. This is OpenBSD forking OpenSSL.
Someone at the linked URL humorously commented "I hope the new version is called OpenOpenSSL."
- LeoNatan25 13y ago? Did you think I assumed "similarity" due to "Open" in the title? It is "another look". Another look can come from original writers, yes, but often a second pair of eyes brings a different perspective that is almost always beneficial.
- LukeShu 13y agoIt came across that way. You mentioned "after a long period", and whatnot.
- iSnow 13y agoOr just call it "WideOpenSSL" until they are done fixing the code and writing tests. I like how the OpenBSD team is picking up the ball here instead of throwing up their hands in despair, even if it means forking the code.
