Linking Against the System OpenSSL
There is a package in Fink called system-openssl-dev that exists to make it easier to link software against Apple's provided OpenSSL (why?). It creates symlinks in prefix/lib/system-openssl that you can use to override the flags of existing software.
In some cases, you will have to patch your package to point to the system-openssl directory, but most likely, all you will have to do to use system-openssl-dev is to set one or more of the following:
CPPFLAGS: -I%p/lib/system-openssl/include CFLAGS: -I%p/lib/system-openssl/include CXXFLAGS: -I%p/lib/system-openssl/include LDFLAGS: -L%p/lib/system-openssl/lib LIBS: -L%p/lib/system-openssl/lib PKG_CONFIG_PATH: %p/lib/system-openssl/lib/pkgconfig
Creating Upgrade Packages
Since the goal is to create packages using OpenSSL that don't have to be in the crypto/ tree, you will probably want to make upgrade packages for the old versions of your SSL packages. If you have a set of packages such as foo and foo-ssl both of which have splitoffs, you will have conflict/upgrade issues if you just make a new foo-ssl dummy package that depends on foo. Instead, the recommended practice is to create a foo-unified package.
Example: Before Unification
foo.info:
Package: foo Depends: %N-shlibs Conflicts: foo-ssl SplitOff: << Package: %N-shlibs Conflicts: foo-ssl-shlibs <<
foo-ssl.info:
Package: foo-ssl Depends: %N-shlibs Conflicts: foo SplitOff: << Package: %N-shlibs Conflicts: foo-shlibs <<
Example: After Unification
foo-unified.info:
Package: foo-unified Depends: %N-shlibs Replaces: foo (<< %v-%r), foo-ssl (<< %v-%r) SplitOff: << Package: %N-shlibs Replaces: foo-shlibs (<< %v-%r), foo-ssl (<< %v-%r) << SplitOff2: << Package: foo Depends: %N (= %v-%r) << SplitOff3: << Package: foo-shlibs Depends: %N-shlibs (= %v-%r) << SplitOff4: << Package: foo-ssl Depends: %N (= %v-%r) << SplitOff5: << Package: foo-ssl-shlibs Depends: %N-shlibs (= %v-%r) <<
Deprecation of system-openssl-dev
OS X 10.11 has deprecated the use of a system provided OpenSSL library. While /usr/lib/libcrypto.0.9.8.dylibs and /usr/lib/libssl.0.9.8.dylib were not removed, Apple removed the OpenSSL headers in /usr/include/openssl. Therefore, it is no longer possible to compile programs that use the system OpenSSL on OS X 10.11. As a result, the system-openssl-dev package is marked as available only on 10.10 and earlier. In order to accommodate this change, packages will need to transition to use Fink's OpenSSL (openssl100-dev/openssl100-shlibs as of Oct 2015) or some other SSL provider (such as GnuTLS). Because binaries of (L)GPL packages that link to OpenSSL can not be distributed, a new value for the License: field has been proposed. This field will allow maintainers to mark their package with the original license, but also note that it links to OpenSSL and therefore keep it out of the binary distribution.
The following table is a list of packages as of October 13, 2015 that use system-openssl-dev and need to be updated.
