Description-en: Google's internal fork of OpenSSL for the Android SDK - devel
The Android SDK builds against a static version of BoringSSL,
Google's internal fork of OpenSSL. This package should never be used
for anything but Android SDK packages that already depend on it.
.
BoringSSL arose because Google used OpenSSL for many years in various
ways and, over time, built up a large number of patches that were
maintained while tracking upstream OpenSSL. As Google’s product
portfolio became more complex, more copies of OpenSSL sprung up and
the effort involved in maintaining all these patches in multiple
places was growing steadily.
.
This is the Android AOSP fork of BoringSSL which is designed to be
used by Android and its SDK. BoringSSL is only ever statically linked
into apps, and pinned to a commit version. Upstream has no official
releases of BoringSSL on its own, so it must be included separately
for each project that uses it.
.
This package contains the development files.
