Multiple openssl extensions
« on: June 20, 2011, 12:00:07 AM »
Gee, I wonder what took me that long to stumble over the fact that there are still openssl-0.9.8k.tcz and openssl-0.9.8k-dev.tcz left over in the '.../3.x/tcz' repository. As I could not spot any '.dep' entry that requires either of those extensions I wonder whether they could be now (finally) removed.

Furthermore according to the '.info' files openssl-0.9.8-doc.tcz.info is "Version: 0.9.8n", but openssl-0.9.8.tcz (and openssl-0.9.8-dev.tcz) are "Version: 0.9.8p". Well, an explanation might be that 'openssl-0.9.8.tcz' apparently contains all the documentation (which roughly doubles it's size) so one can almost conclude that the split-up into "base", "dev" and "doc" did not quite happen the last time around.

Considering now that "Version: 0.9.8r" was released more than four month ago I wonder whether a rebuild (including a three-way split) might be possible.

Just a minor point, under the info tab in AppBrowser  openssl-0.9.8-doc.tcz  lists the size as 947M
instead of 947K.
Two of the other ssl packages list incorrect size but this one was just blatantly wrong.

The K version of openssl was kept around intentionally until the packages depending on it were rebuilt against the standard openssl-0.9.8.tcz  I will remove it now that there is nothing depending on it anymorre.

It is quite obvious that 947M versus 947k is a typo. 

But splitting out the doc extension did not happen with the last update, so it has been deleted, and will be made with the new update to R version.

Also, the size field in my info files are filled during audit using the output of the "ls -lh" command or similar, which will produce a rounded result that is sufficiently accurate for it's purposes.  I checked the sizes of the openssl-0.9.8.tcz and openssl-0.9.8-dev.tcz extensions and they fall in line with this.

Openssl updated to R version and split docs into -doc.tcz extension.
