From 2f9a2fbc46aa435a0a7f7662bb62029ac714f25a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ross Burton Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2015 14:50:27 +0000 Subject: openssl: sanity check that the bignum module is present The crypto_use_bigint_in_x86-64_perl patch uses the "bigint" module to transparently support 64-bit integers on 32-bit hosts. Whilst bigint (part of bignum) is a core Perl module not all distributions install it (notable Fedora 23). As the error message when bignum isn't installed is obscure, add a task to check that it is available and alert the user if it isn't.
