Re: [iot-pmc] Vote for Paho CQ - OpenSSL

[Ian Craggs <icraggs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jens,

"And no binary versions of Paho will be distributed which have this feature enabled."

I'd like to clarify what this means.  We have two versions of the client library, one with no TLS capability, which does not link to OpenSSL and will work without it.  Conditional compilation of the code is used to exclude the TLS calls where desired.

The other, TLS enabled version, links to OpenSSL, and OpenSSL is required on the machine for that version to run.  Does this mean that we could not ship that binary?  There are a couple of other existing approved CQs relating to OpenSSL, which are also works-with:

https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8766 (Eclipse Titan)
https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1706 (Eclipse Subversive)

for which I'm guessing that restriction (if I understood correctly) doesn't apply.

Thanks

Ian

Paho requests the use of OpenSSL [1].

Paho will only compile in this feature if it is available on the target
machine. Normal functionality of Paho (without TLS/SSL encryption) is
supported even without OpenSSL. The source code of OpenSSL will not be
checked in. And no binary versions of Paho will be distributed which
have this feature enabled.

+1 from me for works-with

Jens
