Re: Clam* build incompat with OpenSSL 1.1.0x ? patch available
The amount of developers on the project has not changed since Cisco purchased Sourcefire. So it’s not from lack of work.

What's needed to get full OpenSSL 1.1.0 compat into master branch?

Either a community with the will and the energy to fork it, or some
kind of serious commitment to the project from Cisco/Sourcefire which
wouldn't be so laughable for a company with over seventy thousand
employees.

Cisco figures, for anyone interested (Wikipedia/Cisco_Systems today):

Revenue
US$ 48.0 billion
Net income
US$ 9.6 billion
Total assets
US$ 129.8 billion

It seems to me that Cisco, having taken what it wants from the project
to use in things that it sells, would be very happy for it to die -
but it can't be seen to just kill it, because that wouldn't look well.
I'd love for them to show (*) me that I'm wrong.

(*) Not tell.
