--- Comment #2 from Romain Tartière <romain at FreeBSD.org> ---
Hello,

Adding brnrd at FreeBSD.org who might be helpful regarding the libressl thing: I
think that a direct dependency on libressl is not the right way to go, we
expect all ports to be compiled against the same library: base-openssl,
ports-openssl or ports-libressl, and this does not look right.

This port seeems to use more precisely the libtls part of libressl, which is
not part of openssl.  BUT libretls, by the same author of the program in this
port seems to be the missing piece, providing libtls on top of openssl.  My
guess is that the good way to proceed is:

1. Add libretls to the FreeBSD ports;
2. In this port, choose one:
   a. If the system is configured to build against openssl, depend on libretls;
   b. If the system is configured to build against libressl, no not add extra
dependency.

@brnrd does that look right?


With this put apart, I could build this after bumping the version to 1.4 and
removing the redundant RUN_DEPENDS.
