Is any package using boringssl as a dependency right now? Hopefully not. I totally forgot about that package and I would be happy to totally nuke it if nobody is against. :)

Envoy uses OpenSSL now. And Chromium has BoringSSL sources included (which come from different branch anyway). So I see no reason for maintaining it and putting an effort to fix different architectures.

I think tensorflow and few minimal others use the boringssl sadly. I would like to have only our suse openssl as it is much more secure to have just one ssl impl. tho.

I see. That's unfortunate. Although in case of tensorflow, I see that it still uses bundled sources of boringssl instead of this package. https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/science:machinelearning/tensorflow/tensorflow.spec - line 185

And tensorflow should be compatible with OpenSSL already (building with TF_SYSTEM_LIBS="boringssl" should do the job). I will try to do that in our package.
