Any reason to bother me? There have been several threads about libressl and the overlay has been up for more than one year I think. If you have a suggestions, say it. >> If you have useful comments regarding the transition, please speak up. >> > > I remember you being one of the devs who considered code reviewing as a > useful tool. > Why don't you add a pull request to Gentoo's github mirror and let other > devs review and ack it there? > Because then I could simply give up with ~550 packages, where for most of them the change is a two-liner in RDEPEND. It is common in gentoo to not ask every single maintainer for tree-wide changes. The python herd does that too. If I don't know how to do something or if the changes are non-trivial, then I will definitely open a bug/PR. Again: this all happens in unstable arch and practically effects no one, because people cannot effectively enable the USE flag yet. Do you want to help or not?
