[Fink-devel] whither openssl?

[David R. M. <dr...@ma...>]

The time has come to decide the fate of the fink package for openssl in 10.2.
It would be good to get this settled before too many things move to the
stable tree.

My vote is to remove the package, and to eliminate many other packages
from the crypto tree which depend on it.  In many cases, those other
packages have a non-ssl variant with something like a configure flag
determining whether ssl support is built in.  Now that Apple is
supplying openssl, I think we can validly use those flags in the
non-crypto versino of a package and link to the system openssl.

Of course, there are some packages in crypto which introduce further
crytographics stuff (like sasl I believe) so we still need the crypto
tree as far as I can tell.

Other thoughts?
