Agreed. If there's one choice then "ssl" should be used. openssl/libressl/etc |
| 41 |
should really be considered sub-flags of ssl. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I really wish we had some way of specifying this to make things clearer to the |
| 44 |
user, so they could see exactly how these flags interact with each other. |
| 45 |
Something like (emerge -pv): |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
ssl [ (openssl) libressl gnutls ] |
| 48 |
- if USE ssl then pick one of, default openssl if none chosen |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
ssl [[ (openssl) libressl gnutls ]] |
| 51 |
- if USE ssl then one or more of... etc. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
But I suppose that's another topic. |
