I was pretty surprised today when I, after checking /usr/ports/UPDATING, 
updated security/openssl to find that a huge number of software bits no 
longer functioned, looking (in vain) for libssl.so.7

Apparently the version was bumped

--- ports/security/openssl/Makefile	2012/03/15 06:15:33	1.184
+++ ports/security/openssl/Makefile	2012/04/11 21:06:35	1.185

-OPENSSL_SHLIBVER?=	7
+OPENSSL_SHLIBVER?=	8

but there was no notification in UPDATING that I could see.

The first hint of problems was postfix failing to start, and things got 
worse from there.

Forcibly removing openssl and reinstalling it from the RELEASE packages 
got me up and going again, but this was a bit of a surprise.

For i386 -- 
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9.0-release/security/openssl-1.0.0_7.tbz

Should libssl.so.7 have been retained somehow?

I upgraded using portmaster, it that provides any clues as to why it was 
or wasn't.
