Alpine configure.ac breaks the "check features, not systems" philisophy of autoconf. To illustrate the idea, currently it checks. case $host in *-linux-gnu) ... alpine_SSLDIR=/etc/pki/tls *-apple-darwin*) ... alpine_SSLCERTS="/System/Library/OpenSSL/certs" ;; The check should be something like: is_certificate_dir { # do some magic to figure out if $1 is a valid certificate dir } if is_certificate_dir /etc/pki/tls then alpine_SSLCERTS=/etc/pki/tls else if is_certificate_dir /System/Library/OpenSSL/certs then alpine_SSLCERTS=/System/Library/OpenSSL/certs ... But changing the layout that much would require many more changes than my small patch, so It's better left to upstream to redesign their configure. -- "rm -rf" only sounds scary if you don't have backups -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
