Yeahwell, there were other voices who didn't quite appreciate that dump, or that it was kinda sorta half baked, and not always on par with what actually ended up in the build file. Still doesn't *entirely*, but closer. appro> Idea was that one didn't have to ask for additional information appro> when user reported "ran config, it printed this, help"...

Now this is a good point. There is a flag --dump that dumps quite a bit chunk of info... One thing I didn't think of was that the final config target attributes could be a useful addition, that could be added in the dump as well... -- Richard Levitte [email protected] OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org/~levitte/ _______________________________________________ openssl-project mailing list [email protected] https://mta.openssl.org/mailman/listinfo/openssl-project
