So if Leo can make a test locally and report back on what works and what breaks, this will be very nice. Notice that with Guix, there is no problem in keeping both around, unlike with traditional distributions: Packages that "just work" can use libressl, others that need patches can be kept with openssl for the time being. So we can switch over gradually. Andreas
