I stopped following the ridiculous charade that was the 'debate' for keeping ECC out of RH OpenSSL but have noticed that secp256k1 headers are there in the openssl-devel package and ECC functionality/support is generally in the openssl package now ...

do you have any update what the progress is on getting secp256k1 openssl support in the repos?

i.e. what's the latest farcical excuse?

anyway bitcoin has it's own secp256k1 library on git now so there are other options
