--- Comment #13 from Markus Kohlmeyer <rootservice at gmail.com> ---
I don't see any systems breaking, as PHP as of now has no run/build-dependency
and you only need to run/build-depend on OpenSSL from base for PHP-Packages.
Isn't that exactly that, which nearly every other package in tree does?

And mysql_native_password might be removed in future releases of MySQL, so you
have to run/build-depend on OpenSSL then anyway.


So, for packaging you have to run/build-depend on OpenSSL from base, and for
ports-users like me you can depend on OpenSSL from base or ports and maybe on
LibreSSL (at own risk for ports-users).
It's the same as MySQL does, and that also breaks no systems.


In short: I currently don't understand why a dependency on OpenSSL from base
should break systems? It doesn't for hundreds of other packages/ports, what is
the different in PHP here?
