# LibreSSL ebuilds testing repo

LibreSSL is already in Gentoo, but still 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 which don't have the 'libressl' USE flag yet.

## How to install the overlay

With paludis: see [Paludis repository configuration](http://paludis.exherbo.org/configuration/repositories/index.html)

With layman:
```layman -f -o https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gentoo/libressl/master/libressl-overlay.xml -a libressl``` or ```layman -a libressl```
