i dont really think USE=ssl is changing. it has always been "enable SSL |
| 25 |
support". unfortunately, because this is usually done via openssl, some |
| 26 |
maintainers thought the flag was the same thing as "use openssl". so any |
| 27 |
package that is changing is most likely because is currently using USE=ssl |
| 28 |
incorrectly, or not respecting it at all (which is also incorrect). |
