Optional installation of include?

:closed_lock_with_key: AmiSSL is the AmigaOS/MorphOS/AROS port of OpenSSL. It wraps the full functionality of OpenSSL into a full-fledged Amiga shared library that makes it possible for Amiga applications to use the full OpenSSL API through a standard Amiga shared library interface (e.g. web browsers wanting to support HTTPS, etc.)...

Just save 8 MB for a non-developer. How about a separate dev archive..?

jens-maus commented 3 years ago

8MB is nothing these days. So, no. I would opt against generating separate archives like this was common 20‘years ago for good reasons, which are not valid anymore today!

To be pedantic it is closer to 9MB (uncompressed), but only 1.3MB when compressed in the lha archive. So, you're talking about a 5.8MB vs 4.5MB download. Hardly worth worrying about and the installer doesn't install the developer stuff anyway. There is actually more to gain having separate OS3 and OS4 archives, but that's not going to happen either.

Futaura commented 2 years ago

I've changed my mind on this for AmiSSL v5 - OpenSSL 3.0 has caused AmiSSL to grow in size and now that stub libraries are included, the SDK has grown too (20MB uncompressed). With the full archive being 8.5MB compressed, it is almost 40MB when uncompressed, which may pose a problem to lower end classic systems. So, AmiSSL v5 will have separate archives for OS3, OS4 and the SDK.
