There was a problem hiding this comment.
Gentoo doesn't normally allow using bundled code when compatible shared libraries are available in another package. dev-libs/openssl as provider of shared libraries works fine for net-libs/nodejs, so currently you get either --shared-openssl (that's the system openssl) or you get --without-ssl.
Since you omitted a rationale for these changes I cannot even figure out why you would want to add USE=system-ssl. What problem are you trying to fix?
Hi Jeroen. I have linked a bug about that. Unfortunately nodejs fails to build with LibreSSL as a shared ssl library. This package is too hard for me to patch, and the upstream doesn't support LibreSSL. Fortunately nodejs can be built with bundled OpenSSL. A similar solution was used in |
