Where are you seeing gnutls as "recommended"? This page simply lists the available USE flags; it makes no suggestions. https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/net-misc/aria2 Looks like it's in metadata.xml: ``` ~/g/net-misc/aria2 $ grep gnutls metadata.xml <flag name="gnutls">Use <pkg>net-libs/gnutls</pkg> as TLS provider (preferred). Otherwise, <pkg>dev-libs/openssl</pkg> will be used as TLS provider. Both apply only with USE=ssl.</flag> ``` Can we please do one of: prod upstream, fix this, un-mask the USE and acknowledge that it may be broken, or drop the package entirely? openssl is broken: https://github.com/aria2/aria2/issues/1494 gnutls is broken: https://github.com/aria2/aria2/issues/1636 There does not seem to be a bug-free SSL impl for aria2c. |
