pybugz ebuild currently doesn't require python[ssl], but bugz is unable to perform a search, or estabilish a connection to https://bugs.gentoo.org, without python:2.7[ssl] support. - see bugz-search attachment I have attempted to override the https default with -b http://bugs.gentoo.org, but a 302 is returned, causing python to request the original https address - see bugz-search-b Using the --skip-auth, with the hope that the 302 would be avoided also fails to evade the problem - see bugz-search-b-skip_auth Please can you add python:2.7[ssl] RDEPEND to any pybugz ebuilds Thanks Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.USE="-ssl" emerge python:2.7 2.emerge pybugz 3.bugz search bugz Actual Results: ensure python:2.7 is emerged without ssl support. execute "bugz search bugz" python fails to handle the https request, and a traceback is generated Expected Results: HTTP is used where possible, e.g. search, and features which require python:2.7[ssl] e.g. logining in, creating bugs?, etc, return an error stating that python needs to be recompiled with ssl support. or a temporary fix: python is required to have ssl support, and bugz runs over https for all features, without bother. Bugz functionality should be seperated, http or https dependant features, and a "minimal" IUSE should be added to the ebuild, with RDEPEND !minimal python:2.7[ssl]. Gentoo bugzilla shouldn't require https when it's not necessary or beneficial.

I'm not sure that requiring ssl is the fix we want, because that isn't really accurate. Gentoo's bugzilla forces ssl; pybugz doesn't require it to operate.
The issue is not with the pybugz software. Gentoo's bugzilla forces ssl, not pybugz, so I'm not comfortable with a hard requirement of ssl for pybugz.
