That sounds reasonable. I added the libressl maintainer and portmgr@ to this issue to get their feedback on it. > * Add a static library or c file with dummy functions(RAND_egd, ...) to > libressl. That might contradict the purpose of libressl and adds a can of worms (local patches), which should be avoided. Best'd be to ask the upstream developers of libressl about such things, I think. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
