While adding libressl support I encountered a lot of ebuilds that do |
| 2 |
stuff like: |
| 3 |
ssl? ( dev-libs/openssl ) |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
There are very few cases where this is actually correct. |

|
| 7 |
FYI: |
| 8 |
# cave contents dev-libs/openssl:0.9.8 |
| 9 |
/usr/lib64 |
| 10 |
/usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 |
| 11 |
/usr/lib64/libssl.so.0.9.8 |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
There are no headers whatsoever. This slot is for binary compatibility |
| 14 |
and the only consumer seems to be app-text/acroread. If you build |
| 15 |
against openssl, you most certainly need dev-libs/openssl:0. |
| 16 |
"dev-libs/openssl:*" or "dev-libs/openssl:=" are not correct either |
| 17 |
(yes, there are ebuilds that do that). |
| 18 |

If you fix that, also consider adding libressl support [0]. |
