Please try to avoid such block, e.g. install libressl to a separate |
| 15 |
location. This is easier to do when introducing package to the |
| 16 |
tree, rather when facing large-scale blockers. Otherwise one day we |
| 17 |
will face nasty bug like mutual heimdal/mit-krb5 blocker[1], where |
| 18 |
foo will work only openssl, bar only with libressl and users will |
| 19 |
need both. |
