New comment by lukas-jo on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/43917#issuecomment-1551857026 Comment: I saw the option too, but decided against it: **Pro OpenSSL:** - already installed, so technically less dependencies - older, has been tested for a long time - rustypaste binary will be smaller (as per rustypaste changelog) **Pro rustls:** - modern, comes with less baggage - written in rust (partly in rust, because it uses [ring](https://github.com/briansmith/ring)) - it's faster (not really a concern, but still) - no runtime dependencies Just a _surface level_ comparison, but I didn't see a need to switch to openssl so I'd stick with rustls too.
