Hi, There is a bunch of ports related to PKI (security/p5-openxpki*) which requires exactly openssl-0.9.8x, because: - openssl-0.9.8x version (unlike openssl-0.9.7x) has full support for utf-8, which is essential for complex PKI software. - this bunch of ports is huge and complex, heavily uses low-level functions of openssl-0.9.8x, and it will take quite some time to adapt for openssl-1.0.0+ But today we have openssl from port with version 1.0.0 only. Freebsd-6 or less has base openssl-0.9.7 which is bad for security/p5-openxpki*. Seems like we have to stop compiling this port on freebsd-6 or less altogether. Do you think if it is possible to return openssl-0.9.8x to the ports, just to make people with FreeBSD-6 happy. Regards, Sergei
