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)
