It's funny to me when people complain about something they get for free. There are at least two solutions to this problem and neither of them are writing a blog to complain about the work that someone else has done and given a way for free.
You could write some documentation and give it to them. Or you could pay someone to write it for the project.
The author seems to know quite a bit about OpenSSL/LibreSSL. I'd think writing up a bit of documentation for it would be a win for everyone. Writing a blog complaining that the authors haven't done it and given it away for free is not.
- smhenderson 9y agoBut there is documentation for LibreSSL. As an OpenBSD project they take documentation just as seriously as code. I just don't get how the article makes that claim when there are links to any man page you need here: http://www.libressl.org/ http://www.libressl.org/
- SAI_Peregrinus 9y agoThere are links to the documentation, but they're not labeled as such. They're labeled as though they're links to download the components.
- proginthebox 9y agoIt does not have a "documentation" link. It does not even say "man pages" anywhere on the page. ALso, the man pages go to something called "openssl", and when I click on the link, there is no "libressl" on the resulting page. Am I still on the libreSSL site? Is the libreSSL API exactly same as OpenSSL API? I have no clue. If it is, it does not say so, if it is not, it does not say so. What a mess.
- moomin 9y agoHe could, but you seem to be expecting him to do this work for free. The article he’s written is useful, informative and free, so you seem to have a catch-22 when you criticise him for not going further.
