Invalid, we are ensuring that upstream crashreporter works as they expect it too, hense the dep is mandatory. But it works as expected with curl[-nss] … I tried it just now, the report was submitted successfully. I've exchanged some emails with Jory Pratt, and will try to summarize them here for reference. TB doesn't need curl for normal operations, but the crash reporter needs curl[ssl] to connect to https error reporting resources. Apparently this led Jory to consider the nss flag a requirement, but led me to prefer a dependency on the ssl flag instead. Jory says the mozilla herd is lacking manpower to support the binary packages, so excessive bickering about this bug here might get it resolved by removal of said binary packages. He promised to have another look if time permits, which apparently hasn't been the case yet. By the way, I noticed today that the firefox-bin ebuild still warns users against curl[nss], the way the thunberbird-bin ebuilds did up to 3.0. |
