Installation of SSL certificates in src_install might expose the secret keys when building binary packages (bug 174759). Please update the package mentioned in this bug's title to use the new "install_cert" function of ssl-cert.eclass, and use it only in your pkg_postinst or pkg_config. This bug is for keeping track of specific changes to your ebuilds and stabling, general questions about this should be discussed in bug 174759. Our aim is to have fixed ebuilds in the tree by Dec. 23rd, otherwise we will commit this minor change. Stabling should be done two weeks after the commit, at last around Jan, 6th.
Maintainer permission for you to intervene, SSL certificate installation has been the cause of a bug before and I may not have fixed it correctly. I'm available on IRC for questions most of the time.
Removed old ebuilds up to and including 1.1.1 which removes all docert calls, per advise of ulm on IRC.
I hope you don't mind that I've restored files/ejabberd-1.1.1-r1.initd and files/ejabberd-1.1.1.confd. They are still needed by the newer ebuilds.
Apologies for that. It is appreciated.
Just for reference: Fixed in already stable 1.1.3.
