So far it looks like there is a consensus to last-rite LibreSSL in gentoo, well… was nice while it lasted.Main pain point of it is how we/they (gentoo and upstreams) ended up with ugly patches because of how it's a hard-fork concerning the version (setting OpenSSL to a high value and separate version for LibreSSL).Having two separated software sharing one API without some shared way of doing things is a mess anyway (OpenSSL+LibreSSL moving to something like feature flags would have avoided that as well as OpenSSL adopting libtls or having a version of libtls targeting OpenSSL).IIRC Alpine has been deprecating it for a while as well so in Linux there would be just Void, Exherbo and NixOS I guess. -

@lanodan it was never imported into FreeBSD because of this exact concern.I really didn't think OpenSSL would improve based on the years and years of mismanagement Haelwenn /ɛlwən/ :bzh: likes this. -

@feld I didn't either, which is why I switched my gentoo machines to LibreSSL in the first place.But well from what I've seen OpenSSL also did some large cleaning of their codebase, only thing I wonder is if they still have their own malloc (universal bad idea if you aren't a libc tbh). -

Toot.site's biggest забия́ка!
@lanodan Is LibreSSL as a project going to continue then?

@katnjiapus No idea but wouldn't be surprised that other distros would also stop using it and that it could mean just OpenBSD.
