Agreed. If libressl hadn't failed on this point, we would not be having |
| 8 |
this conversation. They promised it would be API compatible and it |
| 9 |
started that way, but not anymore. This became annoying even to me with |
| 10 |
my other packages like stunnel, where with every bump I had to create a |
| 11 |
new patch with macros based on versions. This is not something we want |
| 12 |
to saddle the rest of Gentoo with. Nor do we want to burden upstream |
| 13 |
teams to have to follow libressl's insanity. |
