If you want to compile the flask notebook then I think we should recommend installing openssl-dev but not require it. So on machines without ssl it'll just build without ssl support, easy.
For distributed binaries we don't need ssl headers, only ssl libraries. Its fine (by most legal opinions) to distribute binaries that link to ssl on OS'es that ship with openssl. -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
