Time, time, time (Seemant)

No, not the Paul Simon song that the Bangles sung, rather a lament on deadlines. I’ve an upcoming deadline on Friday for my real life work, so I’m guessing this kerberos stuff will not be finished this week. I hope to at least get some time to start ...

Releng, Easter, Forums, Kerberos (Seemant)

So let’s start off with this: Happy Easter to those who celebrate it.

Congrats to Chris, Benni, Tim, and everyone on the releng team for putting out the 2005.0 release. The delay was worth it for sure. Not that I’m Ryan Seacrest or anything, but this was ...

Time to shamelessly pimp (Seemant)

So it’s now Sunday (hence still the weekend, hence no heimdal), and I have nothing better to do than to pimp for a minimac.

It’s the weekend, trying not to think of heimdal (Seemant)

And doing a good job of it too, I must say. I only thought of it because I had to write a Title. Anyway, this is the best quote I’ve seen this week:

When did ANYONE with a clue listen to Microsoft? “Linux costs you more money”, “Linux has ...

Mozilla Ate my Computer (Seemant)

So, the mozilla moves that I did (amongst others from net-www to www-client) did not go so well. At first, I forgot to update the updates file for mozilla and firefox, and then mozilla-launcher’s move caused some dep corruption for people. The remedy, if you are experiencing this after ...

Moving forward with heimdal (Seemant)

Thanks, torkel, for your comment. You’re right about krb5-config that both mit- and heimdal provide. That binary (or script) just tells the CFLAGS and/or LDFLAGS that this specific krb5 was compiled with and needs to link to, etc, for programmes building against it. That make any sense? So ...

Wow, people actually read this thing (Seemant)

So, to add to things, Robin e-mailed me saying that since vimap and c-client are both based on uw-imap, they should be tested against kerberos. And, from the comment to my previous post: php and, one presumes mod_php, don’t particularly work (during configure) against heimdal.

So apparently I missed ...

Packages what don’t compile with heimdal (Seemant)

Owing to Langthang’s comment yesterday, I’ll start a new list for packages in portage which do not compile against heimdal. They are:

Spankin’ BSD to the Kerb (Seemant)

So, in Kerberos update news, SpankY and vapier have agreed to break out com_err, et, and ss into a separate package. Rather than have three different packages, we decided to go with one since e2fsprogs apparently needs all 3, and the kerberi require at least 2 out of those 3 ...

Kickin’ it to the Kerb (Seemant)

So let’s talk kerberos for a second. We all know about heimdal and MIT’s reference implementation (whatever that means) and so on. In Gentoo, at the moment, the two block each other — meaning you can not have both installed at once. This causes some problems because if you ...

Oh, so this is what the b-word is all about (Seemant)

Unlike some people I’m fine with talking like a valley girl, like sometimes. So I’m proudly posting my first ever blog entry. I’ll use this space to cover some gentoo ideas and maybe I’ll make a category of postings about non-gentoo thoughts. I’d like to ...
