How would static libssl affect say a binary diff versus dynamic?
Should be in the noise floor for decent binary diff algorithms. I seem to recall chrome uses that to essentially patch things in place. I'd have to look but I highly doubt for say elf binaries that a binary diff patch would be more than dynamic. Ignoring updating the static library portion itself that is.

- mitchty 8y agoWell its no different amount of difference you'd have for libssl then obviously. With a binary diff algorithm if libssl.a doesn't change then its just your changes. If you update just libssl, then its the diff of those bits. If both its both, I can't speak to how much that is as I've never done it. Test it and look at the sizes of the diffs. You'd be updating ssl somewhere, be it package manager or not.
