Both icedtea:6 and icedtea:7 hard depend on dev-libs/openssl, but both work with libressl. Add libressl use flag and conditionally depend on dev-libs/libressl. The use flag and conditional depend ensure that the behaviour is only changed for users that explicitly set the libressl use flag. No patches are needed to icedtea itself, just an updated ebuild. Tested with libressl 2.3.1-r1 Reproducible: Always

Any news about this?
Sorry, since building and testing icedtea takes some time, I'd normally bring in something like this as part of a version bump and there hasn't been one yet. You missed it by a few days. We're also busy trying to stabilise Java 8 and remove Java 6 (so you can forget about icedtea:6). I'll try to get it done after that.
I've fixed this on all the java overlay versions. There's no need for a bump here as --newuse will pick it up and existing installations don't need to re-install for something that is just used during the build. Any idea why this is being done as a USE flag and not simply a virtual? A virtual would also allow for other implementations e.g. BoringSSL.

Thanks! > Any idea why this is being done as a USE flag and not simply a virtual? A > virtual would also allow for other implementations e.g. BoringSSL. There's been very long drawn out discussions about it on the gentoo-dev list. There seems to be a general consensus with the USE flag approach now.
This is now available for icedtea:7 in the tree. It should also be available for icedtea:8 when I finally add it.
