Correct the description of SSL/TLS-related flags to match their modern use. USE=ssl is a feature flag that enables support for SSL/TLS, while USE=gnutls and USE=libressl are implementation toggling flags.
Unify the descriptions a bit. Make sure to mention both SSL and TLS to avoid confusion. Inform about the necessity of enabling USE=ssl in both implementation flags, and replace 'might' with 'if present'. --- profiles/use.desc | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/profiles/use.desc b/profiles/use.desc index 43423a017a5f..4ac5d5ad6136 100644 --- a/profiles/use.desc +++ b/profiles/use.desc @@ -119,7 +119,7 @@ gmp - Add support for dev-libs/gmp (GNU MP library) gnome - Add GNOME support gnome-keyring - Enable support for storing passwords via gnome-keyring gnuplot - Enable support for gnuplot (data and function plotting) -gnutls - Add support for net-libs/gnutls (TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0 support) +gnutls - Prefer net-libs/gnutls as SSL/TLS provider (requires USE=ssl if present) gphoto2 - Add digital camera support gpm - Add support for sys-libs/gpm (Console-based mouse driver) gps - Add support for Global Positioning System @@ -179,7 +179,7 @@ libcaca - Add support for colored ASCII-art graphics libedit - Use the libedit library (replacement for readline) libffi - Enable support for Foreign Function Interface library libnotify - Enable desktop notification support -libressl - Use dev-libs/libressl as SSL provider (might need ssl USE flag), packages should not depend on this USE flag +libressl - Use dev-libs/libressl instead of dev-libs/openssl as SSL/TLS provider (requires USE=ssl if present), packages should not depend on this USE flag libsamplerate - Build with support for converting sample rates using libsamplerate libwww - Add libwww support (General purpose WEB API) lirc - Add support for lirc (Linux's Infra-Red Remote Control) @@ -319,7 +319,7 @@ sox - Add support for Sound eXchange (SoX) speex - Add support for the speex audio codec (used for speech) spell - Add dictionary support sqlite - Add support for sqlite - embedded sql database -ssl - Add support for Secure Socket Layer connections +ssl - Add support for SSL/TLS connections (Secure Socket Layer / Transport Layer Security) startup-notification - Enable application startup event feedback mechanism static - !!do not set this during bootstrap!!
