Hi,

As you may know, the libaacs package from RPM Fusion rely on openssl
functions that have been disabled in the fedora package for some
reason.
This lead the libaacs package to be partially unuseable for it's target usage.

I would like to list what would be possible workarounds for this
issue. We likely need to build a openssl-freeworld package:
- Build a similar package and drop a file in ld.conf.d to make it
system wide ? (the freetype-freeworld way)
This seems unpractical as we may produce unknown behavior and
un-certified code path with others applications.
- Build a shared object with another SONAME so packages liked with the
freeworld version will not conflict with package linked with the
fedora version.
(It will eventually be possible to relink the so to the the fedora
SONAME manually in a second step).
- Build the freeworld version statically.

The question to sync the patch between fedora and RPM Fusion VCS is a
big question until we move to git, so I hope that progress will be
made in this area soon.
If not we may experiment an openssl-freeworld to be possibily behind
the fedora version.

Any thoughts on that ?
