Some use-cases of nodejs does not involve network access, and therefore not TLS either. Example build environment. Bootstrapping a chroot with ca-certificates takes more time and diskspace than without it. The correct package relation to use if there are corner cases without need is Recommends:. - Jonsa -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
