Please consider making USE=urandom the default for dev-libs/apr with +urandom
in IUSE. This of course involves declaring EAPI=1 on the top.
Not using urandom can cause all kinds of issues, of which I have suffered from
/dev/random entropy running out and apache startup stalling for a long time.
This is a request for serious consideration - I don't know all the implications
of using /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random - for example if a platform
supports hardware RNG, is it exposed to either of those (that would be
preferred then), etc?
It seems bug 118054 suggested /dev/random is better IF it works. It also
suggested that a warning should at least be added for users to know of the
issues, but that was ignored or lost over time.
