[Buildroot] BoringSSL library support in buildroot

[Anand Sivaram]

Dear All,

Is there any plan for supporting Google's BoringSSL in buildroot?
It is gaining momentum nowadays.

Thanks and Best Regards

Anand

The plan in Buildroot is like in most open-source project: merge
patches that are proposed/contributed.

So if someone proposes a patch to add support for BoringSSL, Buildroot
will have support for it. If nobody proposes a patch, then we won't
have BoringSSL support.

It's as simple as that :)

Best regards,

Thomas

[Buildroot] BoringSSL library support in buildroot

[Anand Sivaram]

Peter,

That is correct.  But, BoringSSL has fixed a lot of issues of OpenSSL,
removed lots of legacy stuff and APIs are pretty well compatible (as of
now).
I  agree, BoringSSL folks may not care too much about API compatibility and
it could potentially be a problem going forward.

I am having a host build for my application and on Debian, I could get it
working with BoringSSl with a couple of hours of work without using any
specific #ifdef, Now it works both with OpenSSL1.0.2 and BoringSSL.

When I get a bit of time, I would definitely try see I could compile it in
buildroot.

Thanks and Best Regards

Anand
