Comment (by lbschenkel):
I started working on this when I got the notifications, unfortunately it
clashed with Chris' changes that were done in parallel and beat me to it
so I have to do some rework.
Not a criticism btw, I appreciate the intent to unbreak the port. This is
just an announcement so others refrain from working on this until further
notice. I'm on it.
I manage to make the port build against openssl3, however I am not
convinced it is a good idea to make it the default because the codebase
has not really been designed with openssl3 in mind (even 0.22) and there
may be regressions only found at runtime. To fully test it I would need to
have different kinds of smart cards, which I don't.
So my plan is to keep building against original openssl by default but
make it controllable by a variant so users who want to be on the bleeding
edge can build against latest openssl and do some beta testing to check if
it actually works.
I will also update the port to 0.22.
Most likely openssl3 can become the default when upstream releases 0.23.
