LibreSSL requires a lot of ebuilds to be fixed. This overlay serves as a testing ground and makes testing easier by providing an openssl dummy ebuild, so you can compile packages against LibreSSL.
The libressl USE flag is no longer used on main portage tree.
The dummy dev-libs/openssl package on this overlay only depends
on dev-libs/libressl to fix dependency.
This overlay goal is to provide ebuilds that require patches for build
to succeed where dummy package dependency isn’t enough.
Use eselect-repository:
# eselect repository enable libressl
Now you can use emerge --sync or emaint sync -r libressl to sync this
repository.
