Bug 507210 – net-misc/openssh: do not enable USE=hpn by default

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dirkjan Ochtman (RETIRED) 2014-04-09 07:58:41 UTC]

This is an externally maintained patch to a very security-sensitive package. We should not enable it by default. See this gentoo-dev thread:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/90808

i prefer the current defaults

Did you read the thread? What do other base-system members think?

I'm with spanky in keeping HPN enabled.

Perhaps anyone would like to be more verbose on why they feel that an non-upstreamed patch should be kept as default in gentoo?  Maybe complaints will evaporate if there were actually ANY comments about why to keep this.

because it dramatically increases the performance?
