boypt 5235c2cf1d docs: trim el5/el6/el7 READMEs to per-dir specifics
Drop stale hardcoded versions (point to version.env) and content already
covered by the root README; fix el7 socket-activation wording, document
the openssh.initv.spec variant and SPECFILE switch.

EL5 Build Tree (el5/)

RPM spec for backporting OpenSSH on Enterprise Linux 5 (SysVinit).

Notes

  • Perl bootstrap: modern OpenSSL requires Perl >= 5.10, while EL5 ships Perl 5.8. If the system Perl is too old, a private Perl (PERLSRC in version.env) is built inside the build tree and used only to compile OpenSSL; it is neither packaged nor installed. compile.sh adds PERLSRC to the source list automatically for this directory.
  • Toolchain: built with CC=gcc44; OpenSSL is linked statically (WITH_OPENSSL=2).

Versions come from version.env. For usage, config variables, and supported distros see the root README.md.
