Re: patches for shared library and manpage install

[Richard Levitte - VMS Whacker]

From: David Scott Page <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

page> I would like to propose the following changes to the install:
page> 
page> 1. Install man pages in MANDIR=$(INSTALLTOP)/man rather than
page> MANDIR=$(OPENSSLDIR)/man

Consider passwd, and you'll understand why that move isn't too good...

Shared library support is currently optinoal and experimental...

page> 3. Install shared libraries using symlinks from less versioned names

page> the shared library:
page>   lrwxrwxrwx  libcrypto.so -> libcrypto.so.0
page>   lrwxrwxrwx  libcrypto.so.0 -> libcrypto.so.0.9.6
page>   -rw-r--r--  libcrypto.so.0.9.6

That bug is fixed in the current development source.
