  • This package is the official portable version of LibreSSL
    (http://www.libressl.org).
    
    LibreSSL is a fork of OpenSSL developed by the OpenBSD project
    (http://www.openbsd.org). LibreSSL is developed on OpenBSD. This
    package then adds portability shims for other operating systems. 
    
    Official release tarballs are available at your friendly neighborhood
    OpenBSD mirror in directory LibreSSL, e.g.:
    http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/LibreSSL/
    although it is suggested you use a mirror. 
    
    Development is done in the upstream OpenBSD codebase.  A github clone
    of the official repositories is kept at:
    https://github.com/libressl-portable
    We update this repository from the OpenBSD respositories
    semi-frequently, so changes may not show up in GitHub immediately. 
    The GitHub repository should be used for informational purposes
    only.
    
    ./configure && make check && make install
    
    See crypto/compat for the bulk of the local compatibility code. 
    
    It will likely build on any reasonably modern version of Linux, Solaris,
    or OSX with a sane compiler and C library.
