getting rid of openssl port
Hello! Some of my machines were running RELENG_4_7 when I installed ports such as apache13_modssl and cyrus-imapd on them. Since that version of FreeBSD had OpenSSL 0.9.6 in the base system and these ports required 0.9.7, I ended up with openssl port installed on these systems. Now that I'm upgrading to RELENG_4_8, which includes OpenSSL 0.9.7, I want to get rid of the port. It would just feel cleaner to not have multiple versions of same libraries in /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib. What is the easiest way to get rid of OpenSSL port? Do I need to remove everything that depends on openssl port, remove the port and then reinstall everything? Or is there a less painful way? Actually everything is not that much in my case, it really is just apache13-modssl port on one machine and cyrus-imapd port on the other machine, but it still implies *some* downtime of HTTPD and IMAP server. -- Toomas Aas | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * What Happens if I.

So long as you define WITH_OPENSSL_BASE=yes in your environment, both the apache13-modssl and cyrus-imapd ports will link against the system supplied version of the SSL libraries. Thus you can use portupgrade to update those ports with minimal downtime, and then delete the openssl port you've installed afterwards without any unpleasant side effects from those two. Not that it wouldn't be sensible to use ldd(1) to double check which SSL libraries the binaries in question link against before you start hitting the delete key.

Use portupgrade (/usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade). Nice and easy.

Hi Johan,
Another option is to define OPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE when building the openssl
port, this will install the port version where the base system openssl would
usually be. If not using portupgrade you would do something like
make -DOPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE, if using portupgrade you have two options:
portinstall -m '-DOPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE' openssl or you can edit the
MAKE_ARGS variable in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf so it reads something
like
MAKE_ARGS = {
'security/openssl' = '-DOPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE',
'misc/some-other-port' = '-DMAKE_ARGUMENTS'
}
and then just run portinstall openssl (or portupgrade) and it'll
automagically add the flags. This is what I do with OpenSSH and OpenSSL.
Just an idea :p
