this is a heads-up that I’m planning to land OpenSSL 3.6 (https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/29589) in a day or two.
Since this has now happened before fixing the certificate problem, the openssl3 port is now based on unmirrored distfiles, ensuring that it won't build on <10.12 without manual intervention.
The changes should be ABI- and API-compatible, so no revbump of dependent ports would be required (except the ones we always bump as documented in the Portfile).
And since the revbump doesn't involve new distfiles, the revbummped ports will often be updated without updating the openssl3 port, probably creating inconsistencies.
