Description Nikoli 2014-11-15 13:04:16 UTC 
USE X and xauth dep were added to openssh ebuilds per bug #139235, but it seems completely pointless now: all xorg-server ebuild have xauth in RDEPEND, USE X in openssh ebuilds only adds xauth to RDEPEND and does nothing else.


from x11-base/xorg-server/ChangeLog-2009:
  12 Sep 2005; Donnie Berkholz <dberkholz@gentoo.org>;
  xorg-server-0.99.1-r8.ebuild:
  Add some deps so we get a server that actually runs after emerging it. In
  specific: media-fonts/font-misc-misc media-fonts/font-cursor-misc
  x11-misc/xbitmaps x11-misc/xkbdata x11-apps/iceauth x11-apps/rgb
  x11-apps/xauth x11-apps/xinit.

i don't think we should rely on that behavior
Comment 2 Nikoli 2014-11-15 19:11:49 UTC 
Do you mean that xauth can be removed from RDEPEND of xorg-server or that x11 related features of openssh can be used without xorg-server installed?
