That does indeed get messy.But the thing is... in a way, this is sun's fault :-) it should provide patches to openssl to enable niagra acceleration, and then blastwave can use those patches, and then blastwave ssl will have that acceleration too. [really, it should give the patches to openssl.org. but barring that, it would be nice to see a patch set just posted somewhere, like opensolaris.org] _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
