[gentoo-dev] libressl / libtls

[Paul B. Henson]

Current versions of libressl link libcrypto and libssl into libtls 
statically, allowing libtls to be installed concurrently with openssl 
without any ABI breakage.

Would it be possible to have a use flag such as 'libtlsonly' or whatever 
for the ebuild which only installs libtls, allowing it to exist on a 
system primarily using openssl for applications that depend upon it such 
as openntpd? Or have a separate ebuild just for libtls (which couldn't 
be installed with the full libressl ebuild or vice versa) to meet that 
requirement?

Thanks…
