# LibreSSL ebuilds testing repo
LibreSSL requires [a lot of ebuilds](https://github.com/gentoo/libressl/wiki/Transition-plan#packages-not-converted-yet)
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.
## How to install the overlay
Use [`eselect-repository`](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Eselect/Repository):
```
# eselect repository enable libressl
```
Now you can use `emerge --sync` or `emaint sync -r libressl` to sync this
repository.
The `dev-libs/libressl` package in this overlay causes file collisions with the
`dev-libs/openssl::gentoo` package. When switching to this overlay first fetch
the LibreSSL package and then remove the OpenSSL package before installing
`dev-libs/libressl` and the `dev-libs/openssl::libressl` fake package:
```
# emerge -f dev-libs/libressl
# emerge -C dev-libs/openssl
# emerge -av1 dev-libs/libressl
# emerge @preserved-rebuild
```
