Upstream Monit optionally uses OpenSSL to provide TLS support in its builtin admin web server. Being able to turn off SSL in Nixpkgs' monit derivation makes it much easier to build Monit on embedded systems. Security implication: if you choose not to build in openssl then you should probably configure Monit to allow access only from localhost.

Very much so, although I haven't had time to respond to the RFC yet. Just been bringing NixWRT up to date with master so that I can play with the musl support myself. |

Motivation for this change
Upstream Monit optionally uses OpenSSL to provide HTTPS support in its builtin admin web server. Being able to turn off SSL in Nixpkgs' monit derivation makes it much easier to build Monit on embedded systems - and the resulting package is smaller.
Security implication: if you choose not to build in openssl then you should probably configure Monit to allow HTTP access only from localhost (or over trusted networks only)
