RFC: 3rd-party openssl-rpm and custombuild

Hello,

i would like to hear your opinion on the issue:

i need to implement an apache/ssl-feature (that is only avaiable after openssl-0.9.8f) on an actual DA on centos 5.8

i think about running a "3rd-party-provided"-ssl-buildenvironment until migration to centos 6.x . Like this:

https://www.axivo.com/community/threads/upgrade-to-openssl-1-0-1-in-centos.180/

assuming no big breaks in those rpms, how would custombuild use a non system-openssl_1.0.1-dev ?

the system runs on x86_64

thanks for reply and best regards

-c-

I would suggest to search this forum for update.script and use it to update openssl

Is the way i use to do, it compile from source.

Regards
