Hello list,

I seem to have some problems overwriting openssl base. I have tried
building security/openssl with OPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE=YES but to no success.

After i run:
make OPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE=YES install clean
i get the port installed in /usr/local/bin and lib ok, but i'm left with
openssl in /usr/bin and lib too. Do i have to make
buildworld/installworld with NO_OPENSSL in /etc/make.conf in order not
to have openssl from base and then install it from port ?

There's no such option as 'OPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE' in a current ports
tree[*].  There is only

WITH_OPENSSL_BASE=yes

which means link any ports against the version of the OpenSSL libs
installed by the base system, or

WITH_OPENSSL_PORTS=yes

which means link any ports against the version of OpenSSL installed
from ports.  Applications that use SSL in the base system are always
linked against the base system version of OpenSSL, and the ports system
will throw an exception if you say 'WITH_OPENSSL_PORTS' but the ABI
version number of the shlibs in the base system is greater than the ones
from the ports.  So defining WITHOUT_OPENSSL in /etc/src.conf[+] is not


        Cheers,
