Cryptography: ThirtyTwoBitRegister extensions
by C. David Shaffer 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

I removed the ThirtyTwoBitRegister extensions from Cryptography but this hadan unintended side effect: If you've already loaded Cryptography into a >= Squeak3.11 image, loading my publish will cause these important methods to be removed. I suspect that re-loading the proper kernel package would fix this (I loaded System-ar.315.mcz from source.squeak.org). Should I add some kind of a Monticello post-load script (if there is such a thing) to do this automatically or is a version comment enough? David

SSL was easy as there were no forks. jrd.12 is the version I am using and it is working pretty well. I did have some intermittent failures when I was first moving to Squeak4.1 but those might have been due to errant versions of the Cryptography package.

Right, there are several forks to be reconciled. FWIW I am running mtf.13 as none of the versions from the original Cryptography repo had ASN.1 support needed to do SSL (SSL30 or TLS10/11). Unfortunately this version fails CryptoX509Test>>testSignatureValidation (as well as the Rindael test you mentioned). I am hoping the harvesting from the other forks will take care of this. At this point all of the croquet-source versions are in their rightful place in the Cryptography project on SqueakSource. The SqueakSource project contains no license information. It would be a very good idea to assign a license so that all contributions to this repo are automatically assigned that license. I think Ron needs to guide this process as this is his baby. At the very least Ron and all other contributors need to be asked to accept whatever license is selected or we will have to re-write those portions. I am happy to try to track everyone down but not without making sure Ron is receptive to this. David
