HOWTO

# LibtASN1 4.19.0 (Tiny ASN.1)
# ===============
# Prerequisites:
# bison
# pkg-config
# gtk-doc (optional; part of Slackware's linuxdoc-tools package)
# valgrind (optional; for testing)

# If you ever want to uninstall LibtASN1, or cleanup files from an old
# version before installing a new one, skip down to the bottom for
# instructions.

# If you upgrade LibtASN1, you should check apps/libs that link to GnuTLS
# to make sure they're still OK.  If they link with GnuTLS, they probably
# also link with LibtASN1.  You may need to rebuild and reinstall them.

# If you have trouble with the download URL below, try one of these:
# https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtasn1/
# ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtasn1/

# The announcement for this release is archived here:
# libtasn1-4.19.0 released

# Get it
cd

mv installed/libtasn1-4.19.0.tar.gz .

wget http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtasn1/libtasn1-4.19.0.tar.gz

# Verify tarball w/ sha1sum:
# (from the developer's release announcement)
# (you can also check it with "openssl sha1 libtasn1-4.19.0.tar.gz")

# Verify tarball w/ sha256sum:
#
# It was provided in the announcement as base64 encoded binary instead of
# hex so some extra steps are required to get the same output:
#
# FhPwrBz0hNbsDOO4wG1WJjzHJC8cI7MNgtI940WmP3o=
# ->
# sha256sum libtasn1-4.19.0.tar.gz | xxd -r -p | base64
# -or-
# openssl sha256 -binary libtasn1-4.19.0.tar.gz | openssl base64
# ->
