I looked at the .ebuild files for all the programs listed after Mozilla.  None
of them, including Evolution, need Mozilla.  This happened with Portage 2.0.[4589].

From evo-1.0.7.ebuild:

	ssl?     ( >=net-www/mozilla-0.9.9 )
	ldap?    ( >=net-nds/openldap-2.0 )
	mozilla? ( >=net-www/mozilla-0.9.9 )
	
By default mozilla and ssl are in USE.  If I'm missing something
obvious, please reopen the bug.

I have -mozilla in my /etc/make.conf

You need -mozilla and -ssl to disable mozilla.  But I think we should change our
mozilla DEPEND to be "mozilla? ( ssl? >=net-www/mozilla-0.9.9 )" and other
changes should be made so that -mozilla really turns off dependency on mozilla.
 (This will involve changing some of the code in src_compile() as well.) 
Assigning this to stroke.

Hum... Daniel I'm not too sure about this one, if the user *wants* ssl then
mozilla is required and must be emerged. If he specifies -mozilla and ssl in USE
that way evolution will not build with ssl support. Is that what we really want ?

If so I'll go ahead and apply the necessary changes to the evo ebuild. 

[Comment 5 Gabriele Giorgetti 2002-07-02 20:26:16 UTC]

All right, drobbins agreed with me (I've contacted him on IRC).

Since evolution requires mozilla for ssl support you need -mozilla -ssl
to disable mozilla.
