  • undefined method `generate' for OpenSSL::PKey::EC:Class whe starting an SSH session with a private key
    2 projects | /r/ruby | 27 Aug 2022
    JRuby doesn't use the official openssl gem which contains C extensions that compile against libopenssl, but instead uses jruby-openssl. There are a few minor compatibility issues with jruby-openssl. I've ran into the missing EC.generate method before. In theory CRuby's openssl OpenSSL::PKey::EC.generate creates a new OpenSSL::PKey::EC object and calls #generate_key, but trying that in JRuby produces a smaller EC key implying there's some data missing from the EC key, so I'm not sure if that approach is equivalent.
  • Having issues installing Ruby

    I would edit ossl.c and copy some code from Ruby OpenSSL commit 8e98d2e. This might be easier than building an old version of OpenSSL.
  • Why would anyone use Java over Ruby?

    The used digest algorithm. I created an issue with the OpenSSL gem, see https://github.com/ruby/openssl/issues/474
  • ruby-install 0.8.3 has been released
    2 projects | /r/ruby | 26 Sep 2021
    ruby-install 0.8.3 has been released. This version explicitly pins the homebrew openssl dependency to [email protected]. OpenSSL 3.0 was released this month and is now available in homebrew. Unfortunately, ruby’s openssl bindings are still working on OpenSSL 3.0 support, so attempting to compile any current ruby version against OpenSSL 3.0 from homebrew will result in a compilation error. Until all actively supported versions of Ruby support OpenSSL 3.0, ruby-install will continue to compile against [email protected] on macOS with homebrew.
