I'd like to use the libtls library of LibreSSL on FreeBSD. Or the python

From what I understand it would be possible in practice as I assume it's only 
libssl that overwrites files used by openssl.

Would it be possible to create an option in LibreSSL, or preferably make a 
separate port, for libtls only? That way future ports can depend on libtls 
only. For example a future python-libtls port could depend on that.

Unless you build your own packages with OpenSSL from ports
you can just install LibreSSL and use it in your programs...

# pkg install libressl

OpenSSL lives in the base system, LibreSSL will be an optional
install under /usr/local.


That is not quite true. As soon as you install openssl, openssl-devel,
or libressl or libressl-devel, the ports framework will use it whenever
you build something that needs SSL from the ports tree.


If you truly want to have libressl but do not want to use it for
building ports, you will need to install it in a separate PREFIX.



Well the problem is that libressl is TWO libraries (actually three but nm). One that replaces openssl (libssl) and one that doesn't (libtls). However the libtls has shared dependencies with libssl. I DO want to use libtls for ports that has that dependency, but NOT use it to replace openssl. Libtls CAN be a separate dependency in parallel to openssl from what I understand. But now the libressl port conflicts with the openssl port even though parts of it is not in conflict and I don't think the shared parts between libssl and libtls are in conflict with openssl. But I might be wrong. So what I'm looking for is a way to use libtls but NOT use libssl.
