Bugzilla Bug 16449

app-crypt/krb5 and app-crypt/mit-krb5 are both MIT Kerberos V packages.

One of them should be dropped. 

I think mit-krb5 is a more descriptive and useful name, since there is also
kth-krb. It is also possible to confuse app-crypt/krb5 with virtual/krb5. Most
of the depencies point to app-crypt/krb5 when they should be pointing to
virtual/krb5, but that's another bug..

I noticed this too (they both build MIT's krb5).  They're not quite identical
though.  Specifically, mit-krb5 adds support for *not* building in kerberosIV
support by not specifying the krb4 USE flag, something I consider critical
(YMMV).  It looks as though the mit-krb5-1.2.6-r3.ebuild could be easily
updated to become krb5-1.2.7-r1, merging the two packages back into one, while
keeping kerberosIV support optional.  That would be my vote.

BTW, if you do build mit-krb5, you'll quickly discover what heimdal users have
know for awhile:  the "kerberos" USE flag isn't sufficient for enabling
kerberos support:  many/most packages -- openldap, pam_krb, etc. -- blindly
assume kerberos == app-crypt/krb5 with KerberosIV support).  With the advent of
virtual/krb[45], the krb4 and krb5 USE flags now seem to be required.

mit-krb5-1.2.7.tar.bz2

My vote is to update the package mit-krb5, add a move to
/usr/portage/profiles/updates/ and maintain optional krb4 support.

This file does that and fixes bug 17718 too.

It has localstatedir in /etc for etc-update.. don't hate me for this :)

mit-krb5.patch

Since people are unwilling to look into .tar.bz2 files.. Here's a file in patch
format.
See the Changelog update included in the patch for changes.

Maybe the old files should be cleaned and make a -r3 so everyone compiles it?

mit-krb5.patch

1.2.8 got released.

How to apply:
  cd /usr/portage/app-crypt/mit-krb5/ (typically)
  cp mit-krb5-1.2.7.ebuild mit-krb5-1.2.8.ebuild
  wget this patch
  patch -p1 <mit-krb5.patch
  edit changelog

You don't really need to apply my changes, just drop the krb5 package.
Then we can start thinking about bug 16824.

Please?

and the patch doesn't apply anymore.
Method fixed a bug with his CFLAGS things.

new mit-krb ebuild

This ebuild needs to be tested... I will commit the krb changes soon.

I committed changes to the portage tree to reflect this.... I have not, yet,
removed the app-crypt/krb5

remoted krb5
