[openssl-users] updating openssl

[Jakob Bohm]

On Debian systems, the standard procedure on Debian is to build your
private/different versions of openssl (or anything else) in /usr/local,
while leaving the Debain modified OpenSSL in /usr .

This should keep your own code and Debian code out of each others way.

Any programs you need to use with your own OpenSSL should be similarly
rebuilt and put in /usr/local.

I happen to do that quite a lot with OpenSSL.
