OpenSSL User Support resources
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
_Under Construction; not more than a collection of text fragments yet._
|
|
|
|
See the OpenSSL website www.openssl.org for details on how to obtain
|
|
commercial technical support. Free community support is available through the
|
|
openssl-users email list (see
|
|
<https://www.openssl.org/community/mailinglists.html for> further details).
|
|
|
|
If you have any problems with OpenSSL then please take the following steps
|
|
first:
|
|
|
|
- Download the latest version from the repository
|
|
to see if the problem has already been addressed
|
|
- Configure with no-asm
|
|
- Remove compiler optimization flags
|
|
|
|
If you wish to report a bug then please include the following information
|
|
and create an issue on GitHub:
|
|
|
|
- OpenSSL version: output of 'openssl version -a'
|
|
- Configuration data: output of 'perl configdata.pm ==dump'
|
|
- OS Name, Version, Hardware platform
|
|
- Compiler Details (name, version)
|
|
- Application Details (name, version)
|
|
- Problem Description (steps that will reproduce the problem, if known)
|
|
- Stack Traceback (if the application dumps core)
|
|
|
|
Just because something doesn't work the way you expect does not mean it
|
|
is necessarily a bug in OpenSSL. Use the openssl-users email list for this type
|
|
of query.
|
|
|
|
For *questions* on how to use OpenSSL or what went wrong when you
|
|
tried something, our primary resource is the mailing list
|
|
openssl-users@openssl.org, where you can get help from others in the
|
|
OpenSSL community (which includes the developers as time permits).
|
|
|
|
Only subscribers can post to openssl-users@openssl.org (although the
|
|
archives are public).
|
|
For more information, see <https://www.openssl.org/community/mailinglists.html>
|
|
|
|
You have general questions about using OpenSSL
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In this case the [openssl-users][] mailing list is the right place for you.
|
|
The list is not only watched by the OpenSSL team members, but also by many
|
|
other OpenSSL users. Here you will most likely get the answer to your questions.
|
|
An overview over the [mailing lists](#mailing-lists) can be found below.
|
|
|
|
You found a Bug
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
If you have any problems with OpenSSL then please take the following steps first:
|
|
|
|
- Search the mailing lists and/or the GitHub issues to find out whether
|
|
the problem has already been reported.
|
|
- Download the latest version from the repository to see if the problem
|
|
has already been addressed.
|
|
- Configure without assembler support (`no-asm`) and check whether the
|
|
problem persists.
|
|
- Remove compiler optimization flags.
|
|
|
|
Please keep in mind: Just because something doesn't work the way you expect
|
|
does not mean it is necessarily a bug in OpenSSL. If you are not sure,
|
|
consider searching the mail archives and posting a question to the
|
|
[openssl-users][] mailing list first.
|
|
|
|
### Open an Issue
|
|
|
|
If you wish to report a bug, please open an [issue][github-issues] on GitHub
|
|
and include the following information:
|
|
|
|
- OpenSSL version: output of `openssl version -a`
|
|
- Configuration data: output of `perl configdata.pm --dump`
|
|
- OS Name, Version, Hardware platform
|
|
- Compiler Details (name, version)
|
|
- Application Details (name, version)
|
|
- Problem Description (steps that will reproduce the problem, if known)
|
|
- Stack Traceback (if the application dumps core)
|
|
|
|
Not only errors in the software, also errors in the documentation, in
|
|
particular the manual pages, can be reported as issues.
|
|
|
|
### Submit a Pull Request
|
|
|
|
The fastest way to get a bug fixed is to fix it yourself ;-). If you are
|
|
experienced in programming and know how to fix the bug, you can open a
|
|
pull request. The details are covered in the [Contributing](#contributing) section.
|
|
|
|
Don't hesitate to open a pull request, even if it's only a small change
|
|
like a grammatical or typographical error in the documentation.
|
|
|
|
Mailing Lists
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
The OpenSSL maintains a number of [mailing lists][] for various purposes.
|
|
The most important lists are:
|
|
|
|
- [openssl-users][] for general questions about using the OpenSSL software
|
|
and discussions between OpenSSL users.
|
|
|
|
- [openssl-announce][] for official announcements to the OpenSSL community.
|
|
|
|
- [openssl-project][] for discussion about the development roadmap
|
|
and governance.
|
|
|
|
- [openssl-dev][] for discussion about development of OpenSSL.
|
|
|
|
The openssl-dev list has been discontinued since development is now taking
|
|
place in form of GitHub pull requests. Although not active anymore, the
|
|
searchable archive may still contain useful information.
