I hope open-vm-tools just need libressl transition flags in its ebuild.

Could you please be so kind to elaborate what you might expect? Thanks a lot! ATM, a quick look into current . . . /app-emulation/open-vm-tools/open-vm-tools-10.3.5.ebuild clearly reveals its dependency: # grep ssl /usr/portage/app-emulation/open-vm-tools/open-vm-tools-10.3.5.ebuild ... ssl? ( dev-libs/openssl:0 ) ...
I hope, replacing the atom ssl? ( dev-libs/openssl:0 ) with ssl? ( !libressl? ( dev-libs/openssl:0= ) libressl? ( dev-libs/libressl:0= ) ) should just merge open-vm-tools with libressl.

[ https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:LibreSSL ] to it's very end? IFF you have built / set up the VM *completely* with LibreSSL, you might give it a try. Looking at it "from the outside to the inside": VMware is ... well, let's say: "quite picky" concerning it's dependencies. You might risk a look into . . . app-emulation/vmware-workstation-15.0.2.10952284-r1.ebuild and grep for ssl there: . . . - Bug 671218 pointing to Stefan's Overlay. Eagerly looking forward to hearing from your results! BTW: Just being curious: What is your reasoning behind? @ Gentoo LibreSSL : It would be nice letting Necktwi Ozfguah know if you would support this 'un-spoken request' as being sensible.
Sorry, it is too late. I have switched back to OpenSSL after figuring out how to resolve its USE flag conflicts from various dependent packages.
