-Thank you for your interest in OpenSSL. If this is your first question,
-please take the time to read the following lines before posting it.
+Please do NOT use issues to ask questions about OpenSSL.
-For general questions about *using* OpenSSL:
-
- If you have questions about how to use OpenSSL for specific tasks
- or how to solve certain problems you have when using it, you might
- want to ask them on the openssl-users@openssl.org mailing list.
- There you can get help from a great community of OpenSSL users,
- not only (but including) the OpenSSL developers. For more information
- about our mailing lists, see
- https://www.openssl.org/community/mailinglists.html.
-
-For questions related to build issues:
-
- Please use the 'Bug report' template.
-
-For other questions:
-
- Please describe your problem as concisely as possible while giving
- us enough information to understand your problem. Example code
- or example commands are highly appreciated if they help us to
- better understand what you are trying to achieve.
-
- Also, please remember to tell us which OpenSSL version you are
- using and whether it is system provided or you built it yourself.
- In the latter case, please also send us your build configuration.
- With OpenSSL before 1.1.1, the configuration output comes from the
- configuration command. With OpenSSL 1.1.1 and on, you can obtain
- the information by running the command `perl configdata.pm --dump`
- in the root directory of the source tree.
-
-Please remember to put ``` lines before and after any commands plus
-output and code, like this:
-
- ```
- $ echo output output output
- output output output
- ```
-
- ```
- #include <stdio.h>
-
- int main() {
- int foo = 1;
- printf("%d\n", foo);
- }
- ```
