libressl support

Post by lsellens »

Hi I manage an addon for openelec.tv which contains sabnzbd. Ran into a problem recently. Openelec dropped support for openssl in exchange for libressl due to heartbleed and in favor of libre's license. Was wondering if its possible to get ssl working with libressl's libs? I included the openssl libs in my addon with pyopenssl and managed to get it working on my and a few other's installs but have a ton of users running into issues with it. Would really like to get a permanent fix for this as openelec has no plans to ever include openssl again. Thanks!

SABnzbd uses whatever SSL support comes with Python.
I wouldn't know how to start using another SSL library, if it isn't already in Python.
I suspect it isn't even possible.

The problem is the pyopenssl dependency. It will only use openssl.

True, will have a try at dropping pyopenssl in the future.
Python 2.7.9 might make that possible.
That may still exclude libressl though.
