[mosh-devel] (fwd) Fw: Re: Mosh 1.2.6 release candidate available for testing]

[john hood]

The week of travel turned out to be busier than I expected.  But I've
checked over the FreeBSD issues a bit:

* Not a post-1.2.5 regression, neither 1.2.5 nor 1.2.4 will configure
automatically for me on FreeBSD 10.3 without the OpenSSL package.  (But
definitely still a wart.)

* It sounds like Peter has found a decent solution for the port.  Is
that correct?

* Software should support both base and ports OpenSSL on FreeBSD, but
which is the preferred option?  (Obviously if private libcrypto+libssl
ever happens, ports will be the only option.)  Would sidestepping the
issue with Nettle be favored or not?

(I am really rather tempted to switch configure's default for FreeBSD to
Nettle and say "Done.")
