I’d argue that there’s no good reason to use the system’s OpenSSL on older OS X than 10.11, either, apart from the licensing issue. Apple stopped updating it at 10.7, I believe, so it’s pretty crufty. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
