Hi all,
Wanted to share with you my plan for the OpenSSL ports.
With the upcoming FreeBSD 15.0 release, the OpenSSL version in base will
change from 3.0 to 3.5.
I plan to make the OpenSSL ports align with the 15.0 release version,
that is 3.5.
In ports the current default of OpenSSL is 3.0 (3.0.18 as of yesterday,
in main as well as in 2025Q4).
The security/openssl35 ports is at 3.5.4 (main and 2025Q4).
Plan at time of FreeBSD 15.0 RELEASE:
1. Rename security/openssl to security/openssl30 (in main only)
2. Rename security/openssl35 to security/openssl (in main only)
3. Create an UPDATING entry that all ports depending on security/openssl
must be rebuilt for the new SHLIB version.
The security/openssl port in quarterly will remain at 3.0 until 2026Q1
is created.
With kind regards, Bernard.
