Bug 495848 – net-libs/cyassl: too many QA problems and needs tree cleaning

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Pacho Ramos 2013-12-25 11:05:10 UTC]

Is it OK to stabilize =net-libs/cyassl-2.8.0 ?
If so, please CC all arches which have stable keywords
for older versions of this package.

Yes: KEYWORDS="amd64 arm hppa ppc ppc64 x86"

Correct.  In fact cyassl-2.9.4 is out with its own set of problems :(

Okay I've got 2.9.4 under control.  Let's start stabilization of it:  KEYWORDS="amd64 arm hppa ppc ppc64 x86"

[Comment 6 Anthony Basile 2014-06-10 10:47:12 UTC]

Let's proceed with stabilizing 2.9.4-r1

The number of issues that have come up with this version of cyassl and future versions, see bugs #513224 and #513222, plus test failures etc, have made cyassl a headache and no longer a sufficiently robust piece of software for gentoo.  Originally it was added to provide an embedded ssl alternative and seemed very promising in version 2.0.8.  With each successive version, it has increase in the number of failings.  I'm going to turn to axtls to be the embedded ssl provider of choice for those who need that in curl.

I'm convertig this to a tree cleaning bug.  Thanks for those of you who tried.  Thanks jer.

net-libs/cyassl is masked in profiles/package.mask

net-misc/curl curl_ssl_cyassl is masked in profiles/base/package.use.mask

Once off the tree, I'll remove the use expand flag info and any other lint on the tree.

[Comment 9 Anthony Basile 2014-07-15 10:51:24 UTC]

Its off the tree and I've removed all mentions of the use flag in profiles.

@treecleaner, can you take a look and make sure I've cleaned up correctly.  Reopen if there's something else for me to do.

looks to be removed properly ;)
