WISHES
- o Damien Miller:
- "How about making the each of the locations compile-time defined. I
- would like to (for example) put binaries in /usr/bin, configuration
- data, certs and keys in /etc/openssl/certs and /etc/openssl/keys, etc.
- This would also be a great boon to binary package makers. The
- SSLeay-0.9.1b RPM already includes some patches which do some of this.
- I can forward them if you wish."
-
- o Mats Nilsson <mats.nilsson@xware.se>:
- "Add reference counting to all substructures of X509 etc. For instance,
- X509_NAME lacks a reference counter, while EVP_PKEY has one. I'm
- making COM-wrappers for selected parts of SSLeay for a project of ours,
- and has found this inconsistency in copy semantics annoying."
