Description
I'm trying to package msix-packaging for a downstream distro. This is currently failing because that distro has marked OpenSSL 1.1 as unsafe to build, because OpenSSL 1.1 is EOL and no longer receives security fixes.
msix-packaging should consider updating to at least OpenSSL 3.0, which has LTS support until 2026. OpenSSL has a migration guide for the 1.1 to 3.0 upgrade, although if msix-packaging isn't using esoteric features of OpenSSL it might be as simple as recompiling with the new dependency.

Research direction
Start by locating where msix-packaging declares or uses its OpenSSL 1.1 dependency, then read the linked OpenSSL migration guide. The work is done when the project builds against OpenSSL 3.0 or newer and the downstream distro can package it without the EOL dependency.
