This discussion has now been going on for a while. Several times the question "Why should be do this?" has been asked and answered, but I want to know why it is desirable to have ports use the base OpenSSL. Other than the time and disk space required to install the OpenSSL package, I fail to see the point.
There are clear advantages to making the base library private to the base system but I have seen no real, significant reason to use the base library. In particular, I have seen no basis for the rather strongly worded subject of this fork of the original post.Why should "base components should always be default"? It would be nice if a response or two could be technically supportable, but that might be asking a bit too much. The initial post to this was mostly "because I like it this way" and was lacking in technical basis.
