Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2016-11-25 08:23:20 UTC
local:utils:dev-libs/nss: Install utilities included with the library

It would be really nice if this could be extended to state what tools are installed, i.e. letting the user choose without having to conduct additional research.

It might be also useful to use USE=tools instead for consistency.

If you feel I have closed your bug and it is still a current issue, please reopen and update it completely. We will not work bugs that have no ebuild in tree any longer or can not be reproduced with a current system.

Thank You for your support and understanding
The Mozilla Team

I'm sorry to disappoint you but ignoring the issue for 9 months didn't make it magically solve itself this time.
