The frontends are mostly interchangeable.

Sorry I lost write permission to this repo. (I am the owner). Thanks for the PR would love to merge it. |
Can't find one on their website and the public email that Machine Zone has is for press inquiries. Or should I try the open-source Machine Zone email instead? |
|
Thanks, @SigmaTel71 and @bsergean! @bsergean We're looking into this - I'll see if we can't get you back merge permissions again 👍 |
|
Great thanks @andymillermz ! |
As things are taking off the ground, what do you think of the current diff? Is there anything that I missed or should implement besides the option to compile with a different backend? |
|
Looked at the code change and it looks good to me @SigmaTel71 |
I converted the PR from draft to ready to merge if the code is okay. |
The frontends are mostly interchangeable between OpenSSL and LibreSSL.
I thought it would be useful for a project licensed under BSD license to support a cryptography library from its "homeland" :)
As the first line says, LibreSSL is not binary compatible with OpenSSL but provides the same interfaces for applications that use the latter so these could be recompiled with the former.
The diff to looks a bit large to me and I was thinking there should be no intentions to touch preprocessor conditions and implicitly treat LibreSSL as OpenSSL.
