Dear Fink Developer, As you may be aware, OS X 10.11 does not provide a full install of OpenSSL in /usr (it only has the dylib, but not the headers). Therefore, the package system-openssl-dev is no longer available on 10.11. To fill this dependency gap, packages must transition to a Fink package that provides SSL functionality (like openssl100 or gnutls28). I've added a list of all packages that are currently using system-openssl-dev in the 10.9-libcxx tree to the Fink wiki:
http://wiki.finkproject.org/index.php/Fink:Policy:system-openssl#Deprecation_of_system-openssl-dev Because the (L)GPL and OpenSSL licenses are incompatible, any package that is switched to use openssl100-shlibs must change its License field. The current (as of fink-0.39.1) policy is to use "Restrictive". However, there is code in the Fink pipeline that will allow the new license strings "GPL/OpenSSL" and "LGPL/OpenSSL" to better identify those packages. Once that code is released, (L)GPL packages linking to OpenSSL can use the relevant entry. If your package is not licensed under a (L)GPL license, you do not need to change the License: field. However, the package must still be updated to no longer use system-openssl-dev on at least 10.11. Lastly, packages linking to a cryptography library do not need to be moved to the crypto directory in CVS. Crypto is reserved for those packages that actually implement cryptography.
