Johanna Amann commented on BIT-1506:
------------------------------------

Atually, just from my experience, the package-managers are really unproblematic with openssl. I have only used brew and macports -- but they both seem to always update openssl rapidly - and I have so far not really have had problems with the several different versions simultaneously existing (but my pain threshold might be higher than other peoples).

In any case - apple themselves seemed to be way slower in applying updates than any of the package managers. We do not provide mac binaries anymore, so we do not have a problem in that regard.

We could potentially provide headers for the mac version of OpenSSL - but I am really not sure I like that an what kind of breaking it could entail if versions change...

> It looks like Apple removed the OpenSSL headers with El Capitan[1] (OS X
> 10.11), and now Bro fails to build on OS X. Apple's recommendation is
> that we either include a copy of OpenSSL ourselves or we use their
> Secure Transport API.
