Description Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2020-07-14 21:11:17 UTC
dev-perl/CryptX cbundles libtommath.

They already allow us [0] to unbundle it ("experimental"), but we don't yet do it in the ebuild.

tomcrypt not yet in portage.

It doesnt build against the release version. Bundled version is development branch snapshot. 

(tested with libtommath-1.2.0, libtomcrypt-1.18.2-r2, CryptX-0.072)
