[LEDE-DEV] Uniform cryptography library

2017-12-11 Thread Matthias-Christian Ott
Packages use several cryptography libraries because different packages require different libraries. hostapd uses OpenSSL, dnsmasq Nettle and ustream-ssl can use multiple libraries for example. In itself this is also not a major problem. We could unify all packages to use a single cryptography libr
