It would be easier if you build a full version of openssl from source and link against that. \n\nYes, I'm on 1.0.2e.\n\nThe problem is that Gentoo's compilation by default includes the possibiltity of allowing distribution of binaries (bindist), and then the ellipse stuff is disabled due to licensing issues.\n\nBut if I compile openssh without bindist, then other packages complain that\nthey need it.\n\nSo my question was that if the ellipse stuff is really necessary and core\nto the package, it is OK and I will have to invent something (maybe keeping\nan openssl version compiled by myself only for this package), but if it is\nnot, disabling it would be better.\n\nI hope I have made myself clear.\n\nThank you for the effort of making R better and a safer place.\n\n-- \n-  Xavier  -\n"}}
