Description Martin Mokrejš 2019-12-21 19:00:35 UTC

Hi,  the only package which pulls in gnutls on my system with USE=ssl is gnupg.


# USE="ssl openssl -gnutls" emerge -pv gnupg 

[ebuild  N     ] net-libs/gnutls-3.6.7-r1:0/30::gentoo  USE="cxx idn nls openssl seccomp sslv2 sslv3 -dane -doc -examples -guile -pkcs11 -static-libs -test (-test-full) -tls-heartbeat -tools -valgrind" 0 KiB
[ebuild   R    ] app-crypt/gnupg-2.2.17::gentoo  USE="bzip2 nls readline smartcard ssl usb -doc -ldap (-selinux) -tofu -tools -user-socket -wks-server" 0 KiB



I think this is a leftover from teh time when only "ssl" USE flag existed. Nowadays, also "openssl gnutls" exist.

How about something like the below?

ssl? ( gnutls? ( net-libs/gnutls ) )

I think this bug can be closed, since openssl is not an option anymore:
[ebuild   R    ] app-crypt/gnupg-2.2.25::gentoo  USE="bzip2 nls readline smartcard ssl usb -doc -ldap -scd-shared-access (-selinux) -tofu -tools -user-socket -wks-server" 0 KiB

ssl is gnutls or nothing.

Correct, gnutls is a fallback to the ntbtls library which we do not have in anyway, so gnutls is the only option.
