FreeBSD hoffman.proper.com 9.2-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE-p5 #0: Tue Apr 29 18:53:19 UTC 2014     root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386
>Description:
In a recent thread on freebsd-ports and freebsd-security, someone suggested that mentioning the existence of WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes for make.conf in the pkg-descr of the openssl port would help alert people installing the OpenSSL port of its existence. This would be useful when there is an OpenSSL bug that can be fixed in ports before someone can fix it in their base system.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Proposed addition to pkg-descr of the openssl port:

After installing this port, adding:
   WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes
to /etc/make.conf will cause other ports to use the port instead of OpenSSL from the base.
