First Release of LibreSSL Portable Is Available 101
ConstantineM writes: It has finally happened. Bob Beck of The OpenBSD Foundation has just announced that the first release of LibreSSL portable is now available, and can be found in the LibreSSL directory of your favourite OpenBSD mirror. libressl-2.0.0.tar.gz has been tested to build on various versions of Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X and FreeBSD. This is intended to be an initial portable release of OpenBSD's libressl to allow the community to start using it and providing feedback, and has been done to address the issue of incorrect portable versions being attempted by third-parties. Support for additional platforms will be added as time and resources permit.

Which I already eliminated that possibility saying I was building it at home. I'd also like to believe that there are very few security critical things still using IRIX, even though I know better (at least SGI was still releasing security patches until this year....).
LibreSSL vs OpenSSL Speed test (Score:2, Interesting)
I saw the updated http://www.libressl.org/ [libressl.org] page with details for the portable version.
Saw someone else did a speed test https://gist.github.com/bertjw... [github.com]
and thought I would do the same

I'm not an expert but at this stage it appears
LibreSSL Speed as % of OpenSSL
type 16 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
Aes-128 cbc 152.40 152.34 152.66 59.87 59.49
Aes-192 cbc 159.14 158.30 158.25 60.78 60.49
Aes-256 cbc 166.15 166.91 167.14 64.48 64.51
Results -
LibreSSL about 50~60% faster for 256 size blocks or smaller
OpenSSL about 50~60% faster for 1024 size blocks or larger
Notes: To compile on Ubuntu need to use ./configure LDFLAGS=-lrt
There are posts about the same requirement on RH also.
