Description Xake 2010-03-22 11:36:57 UTC

Is gnutls the only ssl/tls implementation for vino? In that case you should use the ssl-useflag instead of the gnutls.

If I specify ssl in my global USE flags I expect that every package that has optional ssl/tls functionality should have them enabled, and gnutls/nss/openssl should only be used when I want to diverse from the ebuild default (if there is more then one implementation).

there is a couple of packages across the tree doing only nss or gnutls if that's the only ssl implementation they support. I guess you will need to create a tracker bug if you want anything to be done about it.

I know there are packages that does not follow this and a tracker bug may be needed for other packages, but IIRC there was a discussion a while back on gentoo-dev mailinglist about how for all packages that in some way supported optional ssl USE="ssl" should enable the default or maintainer/upstream preferred implementation and that USE="gnutls openssl nss" only should be used in conjunction with that flag if the user wanted another implementation (if avaible), since everything else is pretty confusing (and potential unsecure).

Since I noticed this in your package, I decided to file a bug about it.

This looks to be the thread, but I agree with Gilles that a tracker for collecting all bugs related with this issue should be opened
