You know, this is bad. Having an alternate TLS stack is bad. Wouldn't the relevant TLS developers at Apple be pretty disappointed to discover that WebKit has started to bundle boringssl? To enable WebRTC for Igalia's ports, we're going to have to strip all of this out.

It's not a problem for Chromium, because boringssl is their usual TLS stack. This allows circumventing whatever usual platform-specific configuration you allow. And it could result in TLS connections to the same server possibly not working, or working differently or with different security properties, depending on whether the connection is via WebRTC.

[Alejandro G. Castro]

Ideally we will like to strip this out in the future, but for the current development branch we have updating boringssl was in the TODO, so this is good news because it gets us closer to master and we can forget about the patch. I'll test it this week and check if we can start sending patches upstream, thanks.

It makes sense to use system boringssl if available with all necessary features.
For other systems, checked-in boringssl source code might be helpful especially since it is planned to be synced with libwebrtc.

Agreed that it is bloating the repository.
As soon as nobody is using it anymore, it will be great to remove it from the repo.

[Alex Christensen]

I agree that it is bad to have boringssl in WebKit, and we plan to remove it as soon as we can.  Unfortunately, that will be a while.

Right. That said, WebRTC prefers DTLS usually.

FWIW: our TLS stack supports DTLS in addition to normal TLS.

I don't think boringssl is a system library on any platform, unless I'm much mistaken.
