Description Hanno Zysik (geki) 2009-01-24 13:16:07 UTC
libzephyr is a non-optional dependency. An internal version will be built otherwise.

USE="-zephyr" - and check:
  Help > About [at the end]

And there you also see that kerberos is optional to libzephyr.
Or is there some reason I do not know about?

There are these configure flags to set for the flavour:
  --with-krb4=PREFIX      compile Zephyr plugin with Kerberos 4 support
  --with-zephyr=PREFIX    compile Zephyr plugin against external libzephyr

libzephyr should not be optional.
krb4 may be optional.

Interestingly enough, I can't find a standalone libzephyr sincerely, but the USE flags seems to disable it entirely. On the other hand, we should really look forward to get rid of internal libraries, so this should be looked at.

It has a copy of libzephyr when USE flag is disabled.
Or do I miss something? :)

I don't see libzephyr installed here

If there is no external source, that may be why its bundled...
