Hi All, I've received a request to update the security/openssl-devel port to 1.1.1 (see https://bugs.freebsd.org/230679). When 1.1.0 was added to the tree, I recall that I've had discussions about the name of the port (openssl11, openssl-devel). Can't find the thread, but we ended up with security/openssl-devel. This decision is now getting in our way. 1. OpenSSL 1.1.0 is NOT -devel, it is a release that some people actually use 2. There IS a development version 1.1.1 (currently pre8 / beta 6) which people like to use [1] 3. Hopefully we'll update the regular security/openssl port to 1.1.1 soon but what for ports that can't work with OpenSSL 1.1? [2] My current feeling is that we should rename security/openssl-devel to security/openssl110, add the security/openssl111 port and leave the option open to have a security/openssl10 port for those so inclined once security/openssl is updated to 1.1.x branch. Would like to receive more input and views on the matter. Cheers, Bernard. [1]: I maintain a security/openssl-master port for OpenSSL 1.1.1 on https://github.com/Sp1l/openssl-master [2]: I document fall-out, patches and PRs on https://wiki.FreeBSD.org/OpenSSL PS: There's also a security/openssl-unsafe ports for use with ports like sslscan, testssl.sh (category debatable)
