[Pkg-openssl-devel] Please introduce versioned symbols

[Christoph Martin]

Hi,

Please introduce versioned symbols in openssl, so that programs linked
to different libraries which in turn are linked to different versions of
openssl will not break. The transition from version 0.9.7 to 0.9.8
without versioned symbols is really a pain otherwise. I sent a proposal
to openssl-dev at openssl.org. Please use the tag OPENSSL_0.9.8 etc.

See the discussions in Debian:
