Needing some of the features of the current release of OpenSSL 0.9.7e, I downloaded and built the current source. I can get this built but I have a few questions, if someone can help. If I remove openssl-0.9.7a-35 RPM, can I "make install" this newer version and still use the other dependent apps, such as OpenLDAP and OpenSSH? I see that even for FC3 that 0.9.7a is still in use, is there a reason that Fedora is not picking up the newer versions, is there a problem? This 7a version is getting quite old. I can't find much published related to Fedora and newer OpenSSL releases. There is an openssl.spec file in the package. I modified it to build my own RPM since it's out of date. I need to repackage this as an RPM for installs elsewhere. I set this for a linux-pentium arch but would linux-ppro produce an i686 RPM rather than i386 -- I only plan to support i686 arch. I'm executing "rpmbuild -bb openssl.spec". Thanks
