OpenSSL rather than LibreSSL

Have you considered replacing LibreSSL with OpenSSL as part of linuxify?

I had some inconsistencies with LibreSSL making scripts that ran on linux not work on my Mac. Switching to GNU OpenSSL removed these inconsistencies. Unfortunately, I can't remember the specifics.

I actually did the opposite, I replaced OpenSSL with LibreSSL. Since the heartbleed bug I got the impression that LibreSSL was now generally preferred. Maybe I'm getting that wrong?

Specifically what kind of issues are you getting anyway?

GNU OpenSSL

Did you mean GnuTLS? That is GNU's crypto stack.

commented

I may have wrongly assumed it was GNU.

You could be right that LibreSSL is generally preferred and as such probably not great to change linuxify to default to it.

We were generating certificates using some obscure arguments that only worked on OpenSSL not LibreSSL but for most people this could be a step back.

Feel free to close issue.
