<html><body><p>Hi Tom,<br><br>Sorry I saw your comment on the chat channel too late.<br><br>I think you raise a good point. For me having this compatibility is important for:<br><br>- consistency of API<br>- allow development, debugging and testing on both platforms. Let's face it, (as of right now) we're definitely in a better shape for Swift on macOS than Linux.<br><br>Thoughts?<br><br>Gelareh<br><br><br><img width="16" height="16" src="cid:1__=8FBB0A2CDFFD29228f9e8a93df938690918c8FB@" border="0" alt="Inactive hide details for swizzlr via swift-server-dev ---02/06/2017 02:07:59 PM---Hi all, Considered asking this on the call b"><font color="#424282">swizzlr via swift-server-dev ---02/06/2017 02:07:59 PM---Hi all, Considered asking this on the call but thought it might be too out of scope for the kickoff.</font><br><br><font size="2" color="#5F5F5F">From: </font><font size="2">swizzlr via swift-server-dev <swift-server-dev@swift.org></font><br><font size="2" color="#5F5F5F">To: </font><font size="2">swift-server-dev@swift.org</font><br><font size="2" color="#5F5F5F">Date: </font><font size="2">02/06/2017 02:07 PM</font><br><font size="2" color="#5F5F5F">Subject: </font><font size="2">[swift-server-dev] [Security] Darwin compatibility?</font><br><font size="2" color="#5F5F5F">Sent by: </font><font size="2">swift-server-dev-bounces@swift.org</font><br><hr width="100%" size="2" align="left" noshade style="color:#8091A5; "><br><br><br><tt>Hi all,<br><br>Considered asking this on the call but thought it might be too out of scope for the kickoff.<br><br>Is Darwin compatibility necessary, or at least, is it necessary for the TLS components?<br><br>It seems to me that it's highly unlikely that anyone will deploy a web server on a Darwin kernel (i.e. a Mac) for any reasonable project.
