@bjar libressl related issue, but it can be built. #1503

[bjar]

Ok so what is usually the way to fix LibreSSL issues? Contact the FreeBSD port maintainer or fix the TrueOS repo?

[digitalist]

@bjar this is a tricky question.
if can patch something to be compatible with libressl (which is a default library for trueos because it is more secure) you can commit it either upstream or to trueos/freebsd
if you just need some package built, you can built it yourself using ports tree + openssl (it's not that hard, I'll provide an instruction later) or ask someone to build it for you.
