Description Manuel Rüger (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-10-29 18:05:17 UTC
While the base profiles enable USE="zlib" by default, it might not be the best choice for mbedtls[1].

Please consider adding a setting to the base profiles in order to disable zlib support by default.

I tried adding a line

net-libs/mbedtls -zlib

to profiles/base/package.use but that doesn't do the trick.  USE=zlib is added in profiles/default/linux/make.defaults.  I'm not sure how to turn that off.
