Description Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-04-18 20:32:26 UTC
1.  RESTRICT variable within ebuilds - So that mirrors do not mirror the actual
source archive.

2.  Include a 'agree-to-high-export' and 'agree-to-low-export' USE variables
that, if set, will build high encryption or low encryption enabled applications.
 If it isn't set it should default to returning an error message with a license
of somesort.

possibly:

SOFTWARE, PROVIDING CRYPTOGRAPHY HOOKS OR EVEN JUST COMMUNICATING

If you agree to this license, and would like to enable high-grade
encryption then place the variable 'agree-to-high-crypto' in your USE
variable in /etc/make.conf

we have mirror RESTRCTing now ... as for the other, draw up a list of packages
that would be affected and we could implement a global USE flag
