#29529: erlang: SSL should be enabled by default --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ciserlohn@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: haspatch | Port: erlang --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- SSL support is currently disabled by default in the portfile. This causes several ports which depend on the erlang port to break or to have only limited usefulness. Such as: * yaws - no https support * ejabberd - no TLS, STARTTLS support * rebar (waiting to be submitted) - won't even work without SSL support As it is not possible to specify a variant as a dependency the above- mentioned examples can't be fixed on their own. Therefor I suggest to enable SSL by default - its also more conform to the upstream version: [[BR]] " --with-ssl use SSL (default)" (from ./configure --help) The attached patches propose to different solutions: 1. add ssl as a default variant 2. remove the ssl variant and add a no_ssl variant Does anybody really wants a no_ssl variant? That doesn't make sense to me. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/29529> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
