Re: upgrading bundled openssl

2016-08-15 Thread Pedro Giffuni
Hi Don; Thanks for working on this! Two crazy ideas here: 1) Perhaps bundling libressl instead of openssl make sense? 2) It would be really nice if we were able to use encryption in other components: apr-utils and curl, for example. Pedro.

Hi Damjan; I am back to gbuild, have moved my Windows VM's disk to the faster ext3 filesystem, and have begun doing the only thing I can think of to debug this: manually "bisection testing" the gbuild-reintegration branch to try isolate which patch causes the build performance regression. There

Hi Damjan; ... GPL apps are apparently not allowed in the Apple App Store ( http://www.zdnet.com/article/no-gpl-apps-for-apples-app-store/), and if the source code is under the GPL, it doesn't stop being so in binary form, so I'd love to know how they get away with it. Damjan The GPL vs Apple
