1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no longer need
them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary files which
were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where I've verified
that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff -rSSLeay_0_8_1b"
or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for the crypto/md/
stuff).
We've still a horrible mess under crypto/bn/asm/. There for a lot of files
I'm sure whether we need them or not. So, when someone knows it better, feel
free to cleanup there.
is a pain to do, because of the various macro definitions which I had to
expand manually to get their prototype :-(
What's now needed is a volunteer who wants to write down one or two sentences
per API function to document it a little bit...
They are written in Perl's POD format for two reasons: First Perl is already
needed for SSLeay and second, POD is easy to write and maintain _AND_ created
nice looking NRoff manpages.
The idea is to have three manual pages:
openssl(1) ... The manpage for the `openssl' program (formerly ssleay)
crypto(3) .... The manpage for crypto.h/libcrypto.a
ssl(3) ....... The manpage for ssl.h/libssl.a
The openssl(1) should be very similar to cvs(1), i.e. it should document all
commands in a compact way. And I've even created the first cut for an
overview of all 243 functions of the SSL API for ssl.pod. More to come...
