I think we need to update PKGREVISIONs for packages depending on openssl. See pkgsrc guide: 14.2.2. Updating BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.pkg in buildlink3.mk files "In some cases, the packages that depend on this new version may need their PKGREVISIONs increased ..." 19.1.11. How to handle incrementing versions when fixing an existing package "PKGREVISION must also be incremented when dependencies have ABI changes." I am guessing this doesn't matter for pkgsrc on NetBSD which don't depend on the openssl package. But for other platforms it may be needed. For example, if the dependent packages foo-1.2.3 links with libcrypto.so.0.9.7 (instead of now libcrypto.so.0.9.8), then foo needs to become foo-1.2.3nb1. (Or how we will we know the difference between two different packages with identical version?) Did the script for helping with this ever get committed to pkgsrc? If this was already done, please ignore this email :) and thanks! Jeremy C. Reed
