USE=bindist #46

Closed aTosser closed 6 years ago

aTosser commented 6 years ago

Is there a reason why the binhost packages are built with USE=bindist or is it just because that is part of the default layout? I find that I am unable to install any packages that rely on openSSL because they require EC and that is removed with the bindist USE. If there is no reason for it can you update the binhost to USE=-bindist and update the make.conf you distribute to include this change?

Yes, the bindist flag means "OK (in a legal, rather than technical sense) for binary distribution". Gentoo has a somewhat less liberal view of the patent situation of EC etc. than other distros on this point unfortunately.

Closing as "wontfix" until / if the bindist flag meaning for openSSL gets changed (see Gentoo bug # 531540). You can always override the bindist flag for openSSL locally and rebuild this package if you choose (rather than relying on the copy from the binhost). Sorry ><
