There are still too many broken ports with openssl from ports, I do
not like debug it and really like to use base openssl, almost no
difference.
But I just want to have some proves that base system openssl has
security patches because 7.3-RELEASE base openssl is 0.9.8e, but
0.9.8e has got security vulnerabilities. But how can I be sure that
freebsd base system with 0.9.8e version does not have any
vulnerabilities?
