[DEPS] Migrate from Chromium git to CIPD The primary reason for this change is to resolve https://crbug.com/boringssl/653. It has the side benefit of having much more performant checkout times ( 1.5 mins to ~10 seconds locally). Note that this change should be transparent to BoringSSL, but there are some minor differences in the packages being pulled. Firstly, we will not have Chromium-local changes. See the changelog here: https://chromium.googlesource.com/android_ndk/+log Additionally, this change goes from the base r23 to r23c. Bug: crbug.com/boringssl/653 Test: Local checkout, then relying on infra Change-Id: Id394eb254d00884c0e9aeb74c2103908c23fb8c3 Reviewed-on: https://boringssl-review.googlesource.com/c/boringssl/+/68187 Commit-Queue: David Benjamin <davidben@google.com> Reviewed-by: David Benjamin <davidben@google.com>
BoringSSL is a fork of OpenSSL that is designed to meet Google's needs.
Although BoringSSL is an open source project, it is not intended for general use, as OpenSSL is. We don't recommend that third parties depend upon it. Doing so is likely to be frustrating because there are no guarantees of API or ABI stability.
Programs ship their own copies of BoringSSL when they use it and we update everything as needed when deciding to make API changes. This allows us to mostly avoid compromises in the name of compatibility. It works for us, but it may not work for you.
BoringSSL arose because Google used OpenSSL for many years in various ways and, over time, built up a large number of patches that were maintained while tracking upstream OpenSSL. As Google's product portfolio became more complex, more copies of OpenSSL sprung up and the effort involved in maintaining all these patches in multiple places was growing steadily.
Currently BoringSSL is the SSL library in Chrome/Chromium, Android (but it's not part of the NDK) and a number of other apps/programs.
