Hi, as you might know, there is only one binary package of libssl0.9.6 for each architecture. These packages are all build for the least capable processor. eg. for i386 there is no optimisation for pentiums etc. This has the benefit that it works on every i386 compatible processor but it is slow on processors where there could be a lot of optimisation.
The idea is to have a standard libssl0.9.6 package with no optimisation and some optional packages like libssl0.9.6-i686 or libssl0.9.6-k7 which can replace libssl0.9.6. Do we have a general opinion or policy on optimized library versions? Other libraries (like libgmp?) could have the same issues. One problem is, that the build process and the names and number of packages would be depending on the architecture and can not be done with a standard rules files. Do we have modells for this? What do you think? Christoph -- ============================================================================ Christoph Martin, Uni-Mainz, Germany Internet-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
