libressl is already an option, defaulting on base's openssl. [1]

Hi

Upstream has the same approach that we have for handling SHA-0[2], and
a different one for SSL3: They don't provide a fallback if there's no
SSLv3 support [3], while the FreeBSD wiki proposes to do SSLv23 [4]

Hi Alonso,

thanks for the info. On the Qt side (where it appears as a problem in 
QtNetwork) we've added now a patch to only support openssl. The usability of 
libressl and the support for that can be argued about, however, I think we 
should at least write up some advisory what is used where so people know how 
to treat problems with Qt-related software in case of security advisories.

If the use of libressl instead of openssl can be made optional by an option 
and keep the defaults at openssl, I'm fine with any patch as long as it is up 
to the user to build that with qca. (on Qt, I wouldn't do that on qt5-network 
because it is not officially supported by Qt).

Until that is given, I wouldn't use the patch. How is upstream handling the 
use of libressl ?
-- 
Kind regards,

Ralf Nolden

I forgot my bugzilla password and "The system is not configured to allow 
password change requests." ...

I've got this review ticket for the libressl issue. Somehow kde@ was not CC-ed.

https://reviews.freebsd.org/D6685

Given it took me one month to open the ticket, I didn't expect the PR to me 
made so quickly after it.

Rakuco is AFK for the time being, so anyone with PORTS commit bit just send it 
in.
