[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#856984: fis-gtm: please enable openssl support

[Shah, Amul]

If I understood your question correctly, you are asking for the fis-gtm package to either enable openssl OR drop the libssl-dev requirement.

We dropped the openssl using encryption plugin libraries from the distributed package because of the "openssl advertising clause". To work around the advertising clause, we distribute our encryption plugin libraries as source, letting the end users that desire encryption support compile it for themselves. So we can't enable openssl.

The fis-gtm package builds the encryption plugin sources as a compatibility test build. That compatibility test build alerted us to the upcoming changes in openssl 1.1. So we won't drop the libssl-dev requirement.

If the above makes sense, I would like to close this bug. If you have some other option, let me know.

Thanks,
Amul
