Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla at FreeBSD.org> has asked FreeBSD Python
<python at FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback:
Bug 226883: lang/python27, lang/python35, lang/python36: libressl 2.7 build
failures
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=226883



--- Description ---
libressl 2.7.0 was released on 21 March, and it introduced support for many
OpenSSL 1.0.2 and 1.1 APIs. However, this has broken builds of the affected
lang/python ports when DEFAULT_VERSIONS contains ssl=libressl-devel
(currently).

Both the OpenBSD ports team and upstream have tracked this issue separately.
OpenBSD has patched their ports tree [1], but when applied here, their patch
breaks builds for both ssl=openssl and ssl=openssl-devel. Meanwhile, upstream
will not release their patch until libressl 2.7.1 is released. Thus, this PR
mainly exists to coordinate downstream patching efforts until upstream releases
something.
