Hello.

On my Alpine [edge] there is no /etc/openssl, but only /etc/ssl.
Well this is only for the FIPS module, which i do not install,
but openssl update, i am always interested.

P.S.: and what is that, "user-merged"?  A message on the
mailing-list would have been cool.  I cannot dig very much from
the merge request that i read, i have absolutely nothing against
/sbin, /bin and /lib etc being directories instead of symlinks
(i hope these remain), and, hey, you must have a lot of time to
adjust the makefiles aka package recipes.  Granted,

  ~# ldd /sbin/openrc
  ..
  libeinfo.so.1 => /usr/lib/libeinfo.so.1 (0x7fb478322000)
  librc.so.1 => /usr/lib/librc.so.1 (0x7fb478313000)
  ..

does not seem to make a lot of sense.  Except, you know, it
diverts "system critical" to "not system critical", and if only
"notational-wise".

But hey!, i am 99.9% only a user -- for ten years!!! -- and you
are doing all the hard work and make the decisions.  Thank you!
