When doing a version bump on distros (especially distros that may have required some patching to accommodate this package), the "silent death" of commands that run and fail without emitting any output makes it especially difficult to figure out what died and why.
I'd recommend using something like: QUIET=y ifeq ($(QUIET),y) Q:=@ else Q:= endif in the makefiles, and allowing one to override QUIET from the command line. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List openssl-dev@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
