(We'll skip libressl-2.3.x for now since it drops SSLv3 support which man packages still use. If you want to do testing with 2.3.x then keyword it instead below.)

change that to:

(We'll skip libressl-2.3.x for now since it drops SSLv3 support which many packages still use. If you want to do testing with 2.3.x then keyword it instead below.) unless you intended it to be a specific man pages package, which I find unlikely.

The issue is moot, I think. Checking available packages, dev-libs/libressl-2.2 is no longer available. The whole portion needs to be rewritten.

Mention variables like CURL_SSL in the section about how to switch a box to libressl.

That one in particular is important because not changing CURL_SSL when doing USE=libressl blocks dev-vcs/git.

Outdated information

Talk status

This discussion is still ongoing.

root # mkdir -p /etc/portage/profile

per emerge's own man page, it's /etc/portage/profiles.

root # echo "dev-libs/openssl" >> /etc/portage/package.mask

1. /etc/portage/package.mask is a directory
2. again, per emerge's man page, package.mask goes in /etc/portage/profiles.

This is on the Gentoo release of June 5th 2017.

I am not sure as to which is correct, but I am inclined to follow the man page. Correct me on anything that might be inaccurate.

Best regards,

CURL_SSL

Talk status

CURL_SSL seems to default to CURL_SSL="openssl", there probably should be added something about it. Lanodan (talk) 21:10, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

I'd like to second (third?) This recommendation. The system set depends on curl, so it is definitely necessary. This can be fixed easily by changing:

root #echo 'USE="${USE} libressl"' >> /etc/portage/make.conf

root #mkdir -p /etc/portage/profile

root #echo "-libressl" >> /etc/portage/profile/use.stable.mask

root #echo "dev-libs/openssl" >> /etc/portage/package.mask

root #echo "=dev-libs/libressl-2.2*" >> /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords

to:

root #echo 'USE="${USE} libressl"' >> /etc/portage/make.conf

root #echo 'CURL_SSL="libressl"' >> /etc/portage/make.conf

root #mkdir -p /etc/portage/profile

root #echo "-libressl" >> /etc/portage/profile/use.stable.mask

root #echo "dev-libs/openssl" >> /etc/portage/package.mask

root #echo "=dev-libs/libressl-2.2*" >> /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords

Add quickpkg

Howdy. I'd like to add the following to the User section:

From:

root #emerge -f libressl

root #emerge -C openssl

root #emerge -1q libressl

To:

root #emerge -f libressl

root #quickpkg openssl

root #emerge -C openssl

root #emerge -1q libressl

Just to make recovery less painful. Thanks.
