In this case, I've stayed on whichever version (0.9.8, 1.0.0, 1.0.1) was current when I built it [ for earlier systems, ISTR I moved from 0.9.7 to 0.9.8 ].
My backups contain a *lot* of old builds and I can just run man /path/to/SSL_shutdown.3* (and cat /etc/lfs-release) on each of them. [ I have a two-stage backup process - rsync to a 'staging' area, mounted via nfs except on my server, copy/rsync from there to a series of snapshots on my RAID-1, and optionally tar a snapshot to an external drive. And the staging area data remains until either I overwrite it with a new system on the same partition, or I remove it because the machine was retired and I need the space. ]. What I now find for SSL_shutdown.3 is: Correct results for 0.9.8q (CLFS-1.0.0 on my previous server) and 0.9.8e on CLFS builds from 2008 (ppc, ppc64). Incorrect results from ALL other builds, for openssl 0.9.8, 1.0.0, 1.0.1. The incorrect results go back as far as LFS-6.4, but I'm sure I upgraded perl for other security fixes on that system. Fortunately, SSL (3) pages don't get much use except by people coding against openssl. Anyway, I committed Martin's patch a couple of hours ago, and I can now report that it DOES correct the SSL_shutdown manpage if building with perl-5.16. Since I'v not noticed the issue until now, I won't bother to recompile or replace the defective manpage on my systems. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
