as I understand it ssl is intended as a generic use flag, of which |
| 14 |
gnutls can be one of the providers. In the case of of app-crypt/gnupg |
| 15 |
there are only two possible providers, gnutls, and ntbtls, of which only |
| 16 |
one is available in tree, so gnutls is the only one, so the only one |
| 17 |
relevant for Gentoo is gnutls, hence no use flag for it, either TLS is |
| 18 |
enabled, or it is not. |

in this scenario I don't see why "ssl -gnutls" would not be a valid |
| 21 |
configuration as long as ssl is a generic use flag as it is presented to |
| 22 |
be. It doesn't mean never install gnutls, but just not preferring it in |
| 23 |
cases where there are other providers of ssl/tls, that the global |
| 24 |
description already indicate. |
