Hmm, come to think of it, we probably want to keep the default
behavior (that is, the behavior when neither --prefix nor --openssldir
are given), which would give this:
# A default preserved for historical reasons
if ($prefix eq "" && $openssldir eq "")
{ $openssldir="/usr/local/ssl"; $prefix=$openssldir; }
$prefix="/usr/local" if ($prefix eq "");
chop $prefix if $prefix =~ /\/$/;
$openssldir=prefix."/ssl" if ($openssldir eq "");
chop $openssldir if $openssldir =~ /\/$/;
Looking back, with this, the only difference is when only --openssldir
is given. As it is now, it does change $prefix as well, with my
scheme it doesn't.
Is there a reason to keep the current behavios and not change to the
scheme proposed above? If nothing else, I think this new scheme is
easier to understand.
Comments?
