OpenSSL User Support resources
==============================
-_Under Construction; not more than a collection of text fragments yet._
-
-See the OpenSSL website www.openssl.org for details on how to obtain
-commercial technical support. Free community support is available through the
-openssl-users email list (see
-https://www.openssl.org/community/mailinglists.html for further details).
-
-If you have any problems with OpenSSL then please take the following steps
-first:
-
- - Download the latest version from the repository
- to see if the problem has already been addressed
- - Configure with no-asm
- - Remove compiler optimization flags
-
-If you wish to report a bug then please include the following information
-and create an issue on GitHub:
-
- - OpenSSL version: output of 'openssl version -a'
- - Configuration data: output of 'perl configdata.pm ==dump'
- - OS Name, Version, Hardware platform
- - Compiler Details (name, version)
- - Application Details (name, version)
- - Problem Description (steps that will reproduce the problem, if known)
- - Stack Traceback (if the application dumps core)
-
-Just because something doesn't work the way you expect does not mean it
-is necessarily a bug in OpenSSL. Use the openssl-users email list for this type
-of query.

-
-For *questions* on how to use OpenSSL or what went wrong when you
-tried something, our primary resource is the mailing list
-openssl-users@openssl.org, where you can get help from others in the
-OpenSSL community (which includes the developers as time permits).
