Wrong; I would expect emerge to throw an error at me and exit, rather than to fail (build the package without respecting my SSL choice) silently. > what's the difference in using the SSL use expand here, or just > having packages directly IUSE="+ssl gnutls +openssl nss polarssl" The way I see it, the difference is that USE=ssl goes away, and that setting SSL could then imply +ssl, and SSL=foossl would correctly fail to build any IUSE=barssl package. //Peter
