If necessary, create a /package directory:

  mkdir /package
  chmod 1755 /package
  cd /package

Download the ucspi-ssl package. The most recent ucspi-ssl package is ucspi-ssl 0.70. The current beta release is ucspi-ssl 0.70.2. Unpack ucspi-ssl in /package:

Package subsets

To restrict the compile or install to a subset of the entire package, supply the name of a subset on the command line:

  package/compile subset

To exclude a subset from an operation, add a hyphen as the first command-line argument:

  package/compile - subset
  package/rts - subset
  package/install - subset

Valid subsets in this package are base and sslperl.
