Subject: [gentoo-dev] [PATCH] use.desc: Correct/clarify SSL/TLS-related flags
Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2018 22:11:19
Message-Id: 20180130221106.11245-1-mgorny@gentoo.org
1 Correct the description of SSL/TLS-related flags to match their modern
2 use. USE=ssl is a feature flag that enables support for SSL/TLS,
3 while USE=gnutls and USE=libressl are implementation toggling flags.
4
5 Unify the descriptions a bit. Make sure to mention both SSL and TLS
6 to avoid confusion. Inform about the necessity of enabling USE=ssl
7 in both implementation flags, and replace 'might' with 'if present'.
