 Posted: Fri Nov 17, 2017 10:11 pm Post subject: Annoying Openssl Man Page Name Changes |
 |
|
Since forever, you've been able to get help on the openssl command line tool's built-in commands, by typing | Code: | | man openssl-command |
where "command" is the name of the built-in. But between versions 1.0.2l and 1.0.2m, this has changed to | Code: | | man openssl-openssl-command |
This is not reflected in the ebuild, so it must be in the source. Going to look into it this weekend.

Can I sell you on libressl at all? ;)
I just checked and found it has one gigantic "openssl" manpage with all subcommands... hmm, that might be worse than the git-style split ones actually. Makes it easy to search for a word when you don't know where to start, at least. |

Not right now, anyway, as we have an installed base of modified versions, but thanks. Zeroing in on what happened, though.

I have a preliminary fix, but the 1.0.2m ebuild has meanwhile disappeared from the tree, which probably means that the responsible developer is on the case.
