way to report issues however.

Yep.

The upstream libasr-portable repository was archived, as the project was unmaintained (and unmaintenable in some sense) for some time:

        https://github.com/OpenSMTPD/libasr/

OpenSMTPD (its only consumer I guess) doesn't depend on it anymore, it

should be built with the bundled version that was updated.

Removed libasr in commit 902a48e0d3ce4a1983a6d3f71472639a8e59c48f.

P.S.: looking at the recipe for OpenSMTPD I noticed the comment

"reccomended, and supports e.g. ECDSA". While it's true that it's reccomended to build with LibreSSL, ec keys should work just as fine with OpenSSL. The only issue is the combo OpenSSL 3.x + LibreTLS 3.7.0 due to a known regression that will be fixed in a upcoming release (I hope) since LibreSSL' tls did it:

      https://github.com/libressl/openbsd/commit/318ad8e73e

OpenSMTPd temporarily(…) builds with openssl with commit 023ff651462f70004c7a92b19fd072ee3138e5a2, so the comment is gone.

Thanks!
