Greetings, Steven Penny! > I feel that OpenSSL should be a Cygwin Base package. I looked at these distros

The question is, what for? In default OS installation, there's dime a dozen applications, that use SSL in one way or another. It takes a considerable effort to NOT install any of them. What is dependent on OpenSSL in base Cygwin? > The only trouble I see with this is currently Cygwin OpenSSL has Perl > dependency. That's likely a bug. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@yandex.ru) 16.12.2014, <16:09> Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
