dev-cpp/folly and libressl #5

Open Alessandro-Barbieri opened 7 years ago

Alessandro-Barbieri commented 7 years ago

Can be added the support for libressl as an alternative to openssl in folly?

archenroot commented 7 years ago

I will take this into account and customize the build. First need to take a look if LibreSSL is supported by folly.

Alessandro-Barbieri commented 7 years ago

I tried to modify the ebuild but is not supported by upstream. I will file a request to support it upstream.

Reference the issue here later, so in time I will check if resolved and include it.

As soon as now OpenSSL is completely without questions under Apache License, I am using it as standard again on my systems.

I tried migration to libressl about 6-8 months back, the general switch is easy, but I was using incompatible software which required openssl anyway (not just one) and I experienced lot of issues (maybe just my case), but of course it is security stack of choice. The possible ABI break is still general issue with LibreSSL vs OpenSSL to me.
