Description Hans 2013-02-09 15:09:10 UTC

In net-misc/curl-7.29.0 (and possibly a some older versions as well, I haven't looked there), the "nonblocking" USE flag does not do anything.

a) it is not an option in the configure script

b) the CHANGES file has this to say:

Daniel Stenberg (1 Sep 2012)
[...]
- configure: remove the --enable/disable-nonblocking options
[...]


So I am hereby asking to remove this flag from the latest ebuild.

Thanks!

Okay I verified and removed it in 7.29.0.  I don't know if older versions could have this flag removed, but I'm looking to stabilize 7.29.0 in a month or earlier since it has some critical fixes.
