Bug 55710 – patch: Gaim should optionally use the krb4 USE flag to allow zephyr to be compiled with krb4

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Arun Tharuvai 2004-06-30 13:07:32 UTC]

The Gaim ebuild currently doesn't allow gaim to be compiled against Kerberos IV which is required for use by the Zephyr protocol at many sites. I am not a gentoo
user, but here is a patch against the CVS gaim-0.79-r1 ebuild, to compile against krb4, if the krb4 USE flag is set.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Created attachment 34513 [details, diff]
use the krb4 USE flag to allow zephyr to be compiled with krb4

This patch has yet to be tested, though I will be asking the Gentoo user to try
this patch.

Just a note that I did commit this change to 0.79-r1.  If users are having problems they should build with USE="-krb4".  Leaving this open while aatharuv tests things.

Arun I'm going to close this and just wait to see if/when people complain about it breaking.  No complaints so far.
