LibreSSL is a fork of OpenSSL 1.0.1g developed by the OpenBSD project. Our goal is to modernize the codebase, improve security, and apply best practice development processes from OpenBSD. The binaries are installed as libressl-openssl, libressl-ocspcheck, and libressl-nc. ************************************************************************ NOTE! This contains libtls so the standalone libtls package should be removed before building and installing libressl. ************************************************************************ Compatibility with OpenSSL: LibreSSL is API compatible with OpenSSL 1.0.1, but does not yet include all new APIs from OpenSSL 1.0.2 and later. LibreSSL also includes APIs not yet present in OpenSSL. The current common API subset is OpenSSL 1.0.1. LibreSSL is not ABI compatible with any release of OpenSSL, or necessarily earlier releases of LibreSSL. You will need to relink your programs to LibreSSL in order to use it, just as in moving between major versions of OpenSSL. LibreSSL's installed library version numbers are incremented to account for ABI and API changes. Compatibility with other operating systems: While primarily developed on and taking advantage of APIs available on OpenBSD, the LibreSSL portable project attempts to provide working alternatives for other operating systems, and assists with improving OS-native implementations where possible. At the time of this writing, LibreSSL is known to build and work on: * Linux (kernel 3.17 or later recommended) * FreeBSD (tested with 9.2 and later) * NetBSD (7.0 or later recommended) * HP-UX (11i) * Solaris (11 and later preferred) * Mac OS X (tested with 10.8 and later) * AIX (5.3 and later) LibreSSL also supports the following Windows environments: * Microsoft Windows (Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008r2 or later, x86 and x64) * Wine (32-bit and 64-bit) * Mingw-w64, Cygwin, and Visual Studio Please report bugs either to the public libressl@openbsd.org mailing list, or to the github Severe vulnerabilities or bugs requiring coordination with OpenSSL can be sent to the core team at libressl-security@openbsd.org. OPTIONS: By default a minimal set of man pages are installed: /usr/man/man1/libressl-nc /usr/man/man1/libressl-openssl /usr/man/man8/libressl-ocspcheck To install them all, use: MANPAGES=yes ./libressl.SlackBuild ======================================================================== MAINTAINER NOTES NOTE: PKG_CONFIG_PATH will likely need setting in your build scripts: PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib$LIBDIRSUFFIX/libressl/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH ========================================================================
