Thanks for pointers and they do help. However IMO the problem that
Martin decribed
is going to be a real blocker. Unless we can provide a solution to let
both openssl versions
coexist, this change is going to be problematic since we maintain
several old recipes which
would have to be fixed for openssl 1.1 and this can take time, right
now we are only seeing
meta-openembedded layers, we don't even know all other layers which
might get into similar
issues.
