Thanks for your bug report. I'm somewhat reluctant to implement this since I want the bundled-libs flag to go away. Once nodejs and iojs starts streamlining releases I'll also remove "bundled-libs" (it's missing in the nodejs ebuild). If I would to introduce your suggested naming scheme we could pick up users that makes the sunsetting harder. Perhaps introduce a ewarn to people using it already? I have found that bundled-libs will not compile, has a problem with zlib. the only dependency I am not so happy with is openssl as I prefer for such an important library to be stable.

Lets talk about what compile problem you have instead -- could you file a new bug and give me output? |
The net-libs/iojs has the use flag `bundled-libs`. Most other ebuilds that can have bundled libs use the flags `system-{LIBNAME}` I suggest that that `bundled-libs` is replaced with the following use flags: * +system-http-parser * +system-libuv * +system-openssl * +system-zlib This would also prvide more flexiblity and allow only some libs us the bundled version. also is there are reason why -bundled-libs dose not depend on zlib?
