Wind River has contributed two new layers to the Yocto Project.

The first layer is:

meta-openssl102

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-openssl102/

The purpose of this layer is to enable OpenSSL 1.0.2 usage throughout the Yocto
Project and related layers.   There are still users who need OpenSSL 1.0.2
support for various reasons, one of which is FIPS-140-2 support.  (OpenSSL 1.1.x
will not have FIPS-140-2 support, and OpenSSL 3.x is still in development.)

The code in this layer restores (and updates) the OpenSSL 1.0.2 version from the
last Yocto Project version where it was available.

The second layer is:

meta-openssl102-fips

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-openssl102-fips/

This layer provides the infrastructure to augment OpenSSL 1.0.2 with the FIPS
Object Module.  This will allow people to build the software as prescribed in
the User Guide, allowing someone to take their code through certification using
a standard approach.  This layer would require the meta-openssl102 layer.
