Description Tony Cheneau 2010-02-12 10:52:10 UTC
OpenSSL has integrated support of RFC 3779 (X.509 Extensions for IP Addresses and AS Identifiers) since a few version already. However, this support is disabled by default.
I am currently writing a code that requires this feature to be enabled and I think other packages may need it.

It would be nice to modify the ebuild, so the support of RFC 3779 could be added. I wrote a 2 lines patch that proposes a new use flag.

Also note that this patch should work against  other versions of OpenSSL already in the portage tree (as they also support RFC 3779 according's to OpenSSL's website), even through I did not tested it.

Regards,
Tony

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile OpenSSL
2. try using rfc3779 features
Actual Results:  
Can not use rfc3779 features.

Expected Results:  
OpenSSL's ebuild should have "rfc3779" use flag.
