Is this clear now? Yes, it's clear that this is more evil than I thought. :-) This is just wrong. If I go to build openssh then I expect it to DTRT with openssl whether or not openssl depends on RSA, I don't expect to go have to install a package manually and then continue with my build. That's not how openssh or other RSA-using ports *used* to work and I and many others were quite pleased with the previous behavior, we would prefer to keep it. I also have to wonder about your assertion that we can't just have librsaref.so as either a set of stubs or "the real deal" - can you tell me more exactly why couldn't you do this with a little help from our friendly weak symbol support? - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
