Description Bertrand Jacquin 2021-01-21 03:46:19 UTC

Hi,

Since https://bugs.gentoo.org/665574, git send-email fails if dev-perl/IO-Socket-SSL is not installed if the email is sent to a TLS based SMTP server:

$ git send-email --smtp-server=localhost --smtp-encryption=tls -1 --to self@localhost
..
Not using SSL_VERIFY_PEER due to out-of-date IO::Socket::SSL.
To use SSL please install IO::Socket::SSL with version>=2.007 at /usr/lib64/perl5/5.30.3/Net/SMTP.pm line 268

While https://bugs.gentoo.org/665574 was correct mentioning Net::SMTP (part of dev-lang/perl) can do TLS natively, it still does require dev-perl/IO-Socket-SSL for TLS based connection.

Would it make sense to add a ssl USE flag to dev-vcs/git or to dev-lang/perl so all dependency are covered for such use case ?

Reproducible: Always
