4 I think we should go through all the ssl use flag using packages and
5 unify the use flag descriptions and behavior to the following standing
6 policy (handed down probably):
7
8 1) packages always have the general ssl use flag to control whether to
9 enable ssl at all
10 2) If the package supports multiple backends then there's use flags for
11 gnutls, openssl or nss. EAPI 2 use defaults will be used to
12 communicate upstream defaults if any. If they are all turned of
13 select the default (ssl being on).
14
15 No objections and I will open a tracker a week from now and let's see
16 who joins up to go through packages and open bugs.

18 Regards,
19 Petteri
