Bug 762445 – app-crypt/tpm2-tss with USE=fapi is missing libressl support

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Paolo Pedroni 2020-12-29 16:50:42 UTC]

In general app-crypt/tpm2-tss can be built with either mbedtls or openssl, but USE=fapi only supports openssl. It would be nice to have a libressl alternative for that case, if it is possible.

Not up to me but feel can safely say it's not happening.

Turn out libressl now supports the required functions since 3.0.2: https://github.com/libressl-portable/portable/issues/547 . After editing the ebuild, tpm2-tss seems to build just fine using libressl and the "fapi" flag, so I see no reason not to allow it.

Nice that it's possible, but given seems bug #762847 will go forward it'll be short lived.

Given that libressl is on its way out, there seems to be little point in adding support, however, I will include the patches needed here so the can used in an overlay or submitted upstream.
