You really don't want to be mixing both on a system. I've been working |
| 35 |
on libressl from the sidelines (making sure it works with embedded |
| 36 |
systems) and it doesn't share abi compat with openssl. I guess we could |
| 37 |
hack away at it so that it installs side by side with openssl, but |
| 38 |
you're just asking for trouble unless you're really careful to keep the |
| 39 |
two separate when dynamically linking. |
