+# Purpose of this package
+Package openssl-freefilesync exists to enable the compilation and execution of FreeFileSync on CentOS 7. CentOS 7 does not bundle high-enough versions of openssl in the base repositories, so the bgstack15 copr serves a customized package of a sufficient version of openssl.
+
+# How to maintain openssl-freefilesync
+Take a [Fedora release](https://mirrors.rit.edu/fedora/fedora/linux/updates/30/Everything/SRPMS/Packages/o/openssl-1.1.1c-2.fc30.src.rpm) of openssl and open it.
+
+ rpm2cpio openssl-1.1.1c-2.fc30.src.rpm | cpio -idm
+
+Make any modifications necessary to get it to compile. This mostly involves reverting any Fedora improvements to rpm specs since CentOS 7 was released, such as `%ldconfig_scriptlets`. Also, make changes to the .cnf file deployments so this package can be installed alongside the regular openssl package in the distro.
