Description Donald 2011-05-30 03:07:32 UTC

We need an entry in /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc to explain what the bindist flag actually does for this package.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
equery u openssl (with >=app-portage/gentoolkit-0.3)

Actual Results:  
 * Found these USE flags for dev-libs/openssl-1.0.0d:
 U I
 - - bindist  : Flag to enable or disable options for prebuilt (GRP)  packages
                (eg. due to licensing issues)
 - - gmp      : Adds support for dev-libs/gmp (GNU MP library)
 [...]


Expected Results:  
An explanation of what enabling or disabling bindist actually does. (I still don't know even after looking at the ebuild!)
