Yeah, this brings up the story about OpenSSL on OSX again, as what's provided by the system still a looks bit broken, it seems. The problem is that we cannot, as rightfully pointed here by Michael, provide a tarball with OpenSSL source, as this would be an outright copyright violation. Thus we ought to rely on the system libraries. A couple of years ago that was, however, impossible on OSX, more or less, as their openssl implementation was old and lacking features. Now it appears that they updated openssl to a pretty new version 1.1.0c. See https://github.com/hashdist/hashdist/issues/352#issuecomment-337392725 There are some weird messages about certificates missing, but this could be my broken setup, or perhaps it's something trivial to fix by installing a free certificate bundle. Could someone knowledgeable about these things comment? Dima > > Cheers, > Nicolas > -- > Nicolas M.
