I currently exclusively use OpenSSL in base, so I was hoping there was something sane and similar to control using base vs. security/openssl, like the WITH_OPENSSL_PORT and WITH_OPENSSL_BASE knobs, only for libressl. It looks like security/openssl is still on 1.0, so I might be able to get phantomjs working with security/openssl and continue using base for other ports. -- > Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer > E-mail: [email protected] > PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 > _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
