Comment (by janstary):
If we do upgrade, the dependent ports need to be rebuilt, obviously.
But that's imho a very weak reason not to upgrade. There are ports
that can drop their OpenSSl/LibreSSL patch now. Isn't that the issue we
have with LibreSSL in general?
The fact that we have not yet figured out the right way for OpenSSL,
LibreSSL, WolfSSL etc to coexist
in general is not a reason to not upgrade: we are no worse off in that
regard with 2.7.2 than 2.5.5
(or any other version of any of the others, for that matter).
As for the libressl and libressl-devel: LibreSSL itself makes no
distinction between a "stable release"
or a "devel releaae". That's entirely ours (i.e. Jeremy's :-). I undrstand
the desire to have the "bleeding edge" separated,
so that you can install either the latest or the previous (typically). But
our libressl is 2.5.5 and our libressl-devel is 2.6.2;
that is, they are both behind.
(Personaly, I would only have one libressl port; people can test the new
on a PR branch,
as opposed to having a separate port installed.)
