It has finally happened. Bob Beck of The OpenBSD Foundation has just announced that the first release of LibreSSL portable is now available, and can be found in the LibreSSL directory of your favourite OpenBSD mirror.

libressl-2.0.0.tar.gz has been tested to build on various versions of Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X and FreeBSD.

This is intended to be an initial portable release of OpenBSD's libressl to allow the community to start using it and providing feedback, and has been done to address the issue of incorrect portable versions being attempted by third-parties. Support for additional platforms will be added as time and resources permit.

    Just read a good article about replacing openSSL with libreSSL: https://blog.hboeck.de/archives/851-LibreSSL-on-Gentoo.html [hboeck.de]
    Still not exactly aimed at Joe User but you could use this guys work to get libreSSL up. He also talks about various programs that had to be altered or tricked to work with the new ssl library.
