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.
I agree...
You mean the SASL libraries that come with osx are different from the cyrus-sasl package enough to matter?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?
Of course, the only thing I'm aware of that uses cyrus-sasl is openldap, and I've made a "system-ldap" package now if we want to maybe phase out theirs. I don't know how this affects things, though, as far as differences in apple's openldap, but it seems safe to stick with the system versions nowadays.
I've also made a system-cups package that installs the headers needed to build against apple's CUPS libraries.
If anyone wants to test these, by the way, they're in my experimental tree in libs/.
Personally, I don't have any problems getting rid of any packages that overlap with apple's if they're identical enough.
