Description Markus Meier gentoo-dev 2009-01-12 20:34:16 UTC
dear mobile herd,

I posted a message on -dev a while ago and asked about creating a global gsm USE-flag (see $URL). The gsm USE-flag exists 9 times, 7 times as a switch for media-libs/gsm and twice in your mobile packages, for "Add support for EAP-SIM authentication algorithm".
In my opinion it would make sense to create a global USE-flag for the sound library. Then you should decide whether you leave the gsm USE-flag (and it's description in metadata.xml) or prefer to rename the flag.


Thanks for your input,
Markus

Answer from the mobile herd will be really appreciated :)

Add wpa_supplicant maintainer in CC.
Comment 3 Bjarke Istrup Pedersen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-05-04 09:38:45 UTC
I'm fine with changing it in wpa-supplicant.

Don't know about xsupplicant, shouldn't it just be changed when it gets bumped and unmasked again?

Earlier will be the best. I think there is no need to wait as it is blocking gsm global use flag.
If you can do it for wpa_supplicant I'm ok to do it for xsupplicant (i pinged mobile herd a few times with echo).

Is "eap-sim" a correct renaming for you ?
Comment 5 Bjarke Istrup Pedersen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-05-05 07:05:15 UTC
Thats fine with me.

I'll change wpa-supplicant later today when I get home :-)

It has been changed to eap-sim in wpa_supplicant, now we only need to get xsupplicant fixed.
Comment 7 Mounir Lamouri (volkmar) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-05-09 16:50:05 UTC
I've just fixed it for xsupplicant.

Thank you Bjarke.
