 Replying to [ticket:63615 artkiver]:
 > It appears as if the MacPorts LibreSSL port is at version 3.2.3.

 Indeed.

 > While https://ports.macports.org/port/libressl/details/ shows a yellow
 exclamation mark which reads "libressl seems to have been updated (port
 version 3.2.3 new version: 3.4.0)" the current version on libressl.org is
 3.3.5 so I am not really sure where the MacPorts version drift yellow
 exclamation mark is referencing as I cannot corroborate a version 3.4.0
 having been released.

 The libressl port's livecheck code returns the latest version available at
 https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/LibreSSL/, which is 3.4.0. According
 to the libressl homepage, that's a development version, so we should not
 update to it; we should update to the latest stable version, 3.3.5.
 Ideally, the livecheck code would be changed to return the latest stable
 version.

 > I have tested building LibreSSL with 3.3.5 by changing the version
 number in the portfile as well as updating the checksums per the
 instructions outlined here: https://guide.macports.org/chunked/development
 .creating-portfile.html and it seems to have built cleanly using the newer
 source tarball!

 Feel free to submit a pull request for this update if you would like.

 > I guess I also removed the line for the size of the tar.gz since I
 wasn't entirely sure how MacPorts calculates that, but the port seemed to
 build OK without that information in the Portfile.

 We would like all ports to list their distfiles' sizes in the checksums
 line.

 > I couldn't help but notice MacPorts also has a libressl-devel port which
 is even further behind the main LibreSSL port at version 2.9.2

 Indeed. If you would like to submit a pull request to update that port to
 3.4.0, please do.
