WRT mbedtls:
This issue was raised in a vpp meeting a few weeks ago. There was some
discussion of making mbedtls package optional instead of a hard
dependency for tls.
Did we reach consensus on the mbedtls requirement one way or the other?
Billy and I are preparing for 18.04 for Centos and RHEL. mbedtls is in
Fedora/EPEL but not in RHEL and Centos and creates problems for us for
these distros.
If the consensus is to leave mbedtls as a hard requirement upstream, we
could carry a patch in the downstream packaging for release 18.04 but we
would prefer to have as few deviations as possible from upstream packaging.
