It used to work and hence still *should*. In fact, we explicitly added support for downloading and installing optional packages /before/ building Sage a while ago to avoid unnecessary recompilation, especially of Python because of the SSL issue. Nevertheless, I'd recommend to install the distro's version of libssl-dev (package name of OpenSSL on Debian) system-wide whenever possible; there've been dozens of security updates for OpenSSL in the last few month, and the optional Sage package isn't updated that frequently nor fast (not to mention you don't get a reminder even if it is). I recall at some point William even deleted the "current" optional package because it was outdated and lacked important security fixes. -leif -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-release" group.
