I'm having trouble making sense of this sentence. Did you mean to |
| 34 |
write "libressl" instead of "libretls" somewhere? |
| 35 |
|

Anyway, it seems like the people maintaining libressl in Gentoo are |
| 37 |
really not interested in keeping it going. A libtls wrapper around |
| 38 |
openssl seems much more manageable to me, and that should probably be |
| 39 |
the default option for people. |
