I have tried using the USE variables for partimage, but -login doesn't work.
USE='-ssl' emerge partimage
works
USE='-ssl -login' emerge partimage
compiles the software with login expectations.
however, using the source software
./configure --disable-ssl --disable-login
works fine.
Please change the ebuild system in the src_compile() section to read more like:
# SSL is optional
local sslconf
use ssl || sslconf="--disable-ssl"
# Login is optional
local loginconf
use login || loginconf="--disable-login"
econf
${sslconf} \
${loginconf} \
--infodir=/usr/share/doc/${PF}
.
.
.
This is especially important until the partimage ssl stuff gets fixed on the CD
(so that they keys are included and can be copied to the server config for those
who wish -- bug #14687)
PS -- I wish the forums would also search the bug database -- it would have
saved me a lot of time.
