Description Necktwi Ozfguah 2018-10-11 14:25:28 UTC
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 )
...
Comment 2 Necktwi Ozfguah 2019-02-15 22:58:55 UTC
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.

I hope that you have read 
. . . [ 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.
Comment 4 Necktwi Ozfguah 2019-02-16 03:41:01 UTC
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.
