Hey folks,

I’m dropping a quick note on this; didn’t have the time to look through:


Python 2.7.9 introduced SSL certificate validation by default. The default distribution
expects the CA at /etc/ssl/ , but FreeBSD stores it in /usr/local/etc/ssl .

This silently breaks all systems using SSL connection without change to infrastructure
or code. A simple symlink (see below) fixes the issue. I suppose this also effectively
requires to add "ca_root_nss" to RUN_DEPENDS.
