With this logic being enabled, we would have different runtime dependencies for different FreeBSD versions. That would cause potential errors during system upgrade. As from openssl.mk, I can see that there is merely base/port switch and not something like WITH_OPENSSL= ecc,evp and so on. From my point of view, software installed from the ports should prefer depending on other ports software making it easy to upgrade systems without having to reinstall all the ports. - -- Vsevolod Stakhov -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJVm6oPAAoJEAdke2eQCBQ3AtMP/A6bnM2teLrfTx4A5YSLQFKy LdKPyyaXfRsKOxZDkB4FC934hBEWn8/Y7iGkmUXFb+ondYmPCTbL6AXPE+qWK44m XZjYMKxBHY4ToSxZXROM/ZY8PnykegZh2ovdQIl0rnpFVCtKGFRtSAUnRyxYoPSh 1zQ6Yxnr4evldMZUvqU87DQKson4Sy+m9PUq3SGSyLTcL+JLnHnbSps0EdvKaafb SYkwiHvG9BUtLVvtIgcqxT4wE35gG8Ok02aty2HmRrRePA2DKA7wNzgVorbN+gTT qXcfggBEoIoZz98yhmoIeH4FkuLuN5IQQ68hLZLRcDbKXbQLWNbOD9VsLEKa3uCe UjfifyCmyXZZ0zak2yX5EOM+dMWD3vzJBj5rSKQzvEKQ5e8zB7V1qH1iuxyvG1j3 iB00KKkNUqXrW0xISwnH7IQB3Ewlwv12mAaGcMFcj5enZMfoW3a975nu5QjSPPUD k4MTkIwtqgcMPfq4kkVtUsOzOYYgMlhT6ue87RSVQ780XFJn8QcV/Dq5qVD8Mg0g aGXyTN67qJYOq6T1GTJqWJk0D+yz2r4YZs2ipwAbnqV5q1Lj/H5p/5+DWrXrVKdp GJUhHih1tuRsyQyYebAqXUoAZ9cUn8CpvRUi7jhdz14UeSufujicQkxdm3xX2cKO 9jhd3IcpRCNBMTfGOYmb =HcUD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
