Is there a build flag or a ./configure-time autodetection that would allow for supporting LibreSSL while they port X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_host? On Thursday, January 18, 2018, Christian Heimes wrote: > On 2018-01-16 21:17, Christian Heimes wrote: > > FYI, master on Travis

Re: [Python-Dev] LibreSSL support

LibreSSL is not a pressing need for me; but fallback to the existing insecure check if LibreSSL is present shouldn't be too difficult? On Thursday, January 18, 2018, Christian Heimes wrote: > On 2018-01-18 19:42, Wes Turner wrote: > > Is there a build flag or a

[Python-Dev] Drop support for old unsupported FreeBSD and Linux kernels?
