dev-libs/openssl

This wiki page is about a gentoo ebuild. Include any information about how to install it (emerge it), potential problems and how to resolve them. Be bold and improve it!

If you have any questions or experience any problem related to this ebuild, don't hesitate to open a new ticket and we'll do our best to assist you.

Note that for software that require older versions of openssl, there is another package called: dev-libs/openssl-compat
If required, simply emerge the appropriate slot of openssl-compat.
It is not clear why the Gentoo developers decided to create a separate package, instead of simply slotting dev-libs/openssl appropriately. If you know the proper technical reason, you may add an explanation here.
