Last modified: 2016-04-18 06:27:18 EDT
Description of problem: When attempting to build this package against older (< 1.0.0) releases of OpenSSL, an error occurs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): httpd-2.2.15-39.el6 How reproducible: Always when building against OpenSSL < 1.0.0 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Easiest, attempt to build on EL5 (OpenSSL 0.9.8e) 2. 3.

Since it's a patch in the typo we can correct that, but, I'll note that building RHEL source RPMs on older versions of RHEL is not supported nor expected to work in general.
"a patch in the typo" ... or something like that.
