I'd like to thank the openssh-portable port maintainer/s for preserving the -overwrite-base option. This eases our systems and security update jobs measurably. Unfortunately, openSSL has dropped the -overwrite-base option (again), leaving us with two versions of openssl and some confusion over A) which version of openssl a new port or upgrade (i.e., openssh) will use, and B) how to update systems with openssl-overwrite-base installed. Is there a best practice/recommendation for updating openssl-overwrite-base without having to maintain multiple versions? Roger Marquis Roble Systems Consulting
