Chris and I have discussed at least some of the network services being considered packages beyond the stack. Stuff like httpd, ftpd, and telnetd should be able to work with either stack. Having one instance of those to maintain would be great. I'm happy to see all this happen. Hopefully it can show up in digestable pieces.
We need to maintain our current functionality and I am prepared to bridge but not abandon. The libbsd stack has made progress but does not support as much as the old stack does. Until it does I feel we need to keep the old stack going and to support it.
To me this means adding headers to newlib requires the in-tree stack and libbsd work with out impacting users and existing applications.
If I understand what is bring proposed any suitable networking software should be able to be built against just the compiler, newlib etc and it does not need a built and installed RTEMS with a specific networking implementation. This means networking could become a link time setting. An interesting challenge.
Sebastian, I know you have talked about libressl, but it is still not clear to me why doing this is needed. Do you have a specific use case?
