Description Jacques-Pascal Deplaix 2012-07-30 15:16:45 UTC

ocaml-safepass needs the crypt-blowfish patch that is not include in the mainline glibc.

So the following line should be added to DEPEND:

sys-libs/glibc[!vanilla]

I'm contacting the author for more informations.
So, this bug can wait.

i may have searched wrongly but i see nothing about blowfish in our glibc patchset.
ccing glibc maintainers, they may have some comments.

Comment 3 Jacques-Pascal Deplaix 2012-08-02 12:39:40 UTC

No, it's not a bug, I'm sorry.
It was a bug on in crypt_blowfish and I made a wrong conclusion.

The author is trying to fix that.
