1022790 - Specify OpenSSL version in mock builds

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Dustin J. Mitchell [:dustin] (he/him)]

With http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2014-June/020344.html, we need to upgrade the version of OpenSSL used everywhere.  This includes in mock builds.

However, mock doesn't pin the versions of openssl required, and thus takes whatever is "latest" in the repository.  This doesn't present a stable build platform as you might expect from a mock environment.

Ideally, it seems that the version of *every* package should be pinned, a la requirements.txt for Python or shrinkwrap for node.

For the moment, though, pinning OpenSSL should help to enable a controlled upgrade to fixed versions of OpenSSL.
