I just tried to upgrade on Gentoo to libressl with the
development repository enabled and all unstable packages unmasked
and solved some issues and I'm still not able to rebuild world in
one easy try from the preview I get.
It will be fun though and puts some packages to practice.
It would be nice if we could have some automatized testing for
failure with an libressl branch which just replaces every
dependency on openssl with current libressl (current version
drops sslv3 and replaces sslv3 with tls1,2,2.1 usage from what I
read in the bugtracker for Gentoo) and see where patches are
needed in Guix until upstream has fixes.
