  • [gentoo-dev] RFC: new global USE=websockets

    From =?UTF-8?Q?Micha=C5=82_G=C3=B3rny?=@21:1/5 to All on Sun May 25 17:10:02 2025
    Hello,

    I'd like to propose a new global use flag:

    websockets: Enable support for WebSocket protocol

    It is currently used by 11 packages, in a roughly consistent manner:

    app-misc/mosquitto[websockets] Support the WebSocket protocol. dev-libs/qcoro[websockets] Build dev-qt/qtwebsockets support dev-python/pyqt5[websockets] Build bindings for the QtWebSockets module dev-python/pyqt6[websockets] Build bindings for the QtWebSockets module dev-python/pyside[websockets] Build QtWebSockets module dev-python/qtpy[websockets] Pull in bindings for the QtWebSockets module dev-qt/qt-docs[websockets] Install documentation for dev-qt/qtwebsockets dev-qt/qthttpserver[websockets] Enable websockets support using dev-qt/qtwebsockets
    gui-libs/neatvnc[websockets] Enable websockets support net-misc/curl[websockets] Enable websockets support games-action/ddnet[websockets] Enable WebSocket support for server.

    (plus incoming dev-python/twisted)

    There is also USE=websocket that is used by 3 packages:

    net-misc/eventd[websocket] Enable support for WebSocket protocol sci-libs/indilib[websocket] Enable support for WebSocket protocol net-libs/ulfius[websocket] websocket support

    Best regards,

    Sounds good to me.

    dev-python/pyqt5[websockets] Build bindings for the QtWebSockets module dev-python/pyqt6[websockets] Build bindings for the QtWebSockets module dev-python/pyside[websockets] Build QtWebSockets module dev-python/qtpy[websockets] Pull in bindings for the QtWebSockets module dev-qt/qt-docs[websockets] Install documentation for dev-qt/qtwebsockets

    I'd say these should be kept local though, they already override other
    global USE to clarify that it's documentation or bindings (e.g. local qt-docs[svg], or local pyqt6[xml]).

    The other "qtwebsockets" ones are fine with this global desc imo.

    May possibly have originated from Qt which always named its module
    Qt WebSockets.

    Personally don't mind either way other than renaming sockets to socket
    would be more disruptive than the other way around given the consumers, dependencies, and not having a USEmove.

    or python, forgot it uses dev-python/websockets too.. well if we have
    two packages named that, I guess it fits anyway.
