Re: pkgsrc vs. https-only master sites

The next question is how useful ssl support is without a certificate
chain... but we can postpone that discussion.
We don't rely on the CA protection racket for integrity -- that's what
distfiles are for. We can't plausibly rely on TLS for confidentiality
-- the pattern of remote hosts reached by pkgsrc is surely too
predictable to hide the fact that one is using pkgsrc. So it's really
just a more complex transport layer, for our purposes.
Is there a lighter-weight TLS stack we can use than OpenSSL? axtls?
