OK, so here’s an update to the whole heimdal/mit crisis. I sent an email to gentoo-dev mailing list soliciting opinions on two options, which I shall outline below. There is no link to the email because the mailq on the gentoo mail server is apparently backed up. I’ll update this entry with the link when there is one.
In the meantime, here’s the two options:
- Continue on as I have been, with prefixing things with mit- and heimdal- and then making symlinks.
- Install mit and heimdal into /usr/libexec/kerberos/[mit,heimdal] without renames and making symlinks.
So you see symlinks get made either way. I think the libexec route (or /usr/lib/misc, as SpanKY favours) is the easier of the two. The other concern which Uberlord finally vocalised in #gentoo-dev is: is all of this worth it? It wouldn’t be possible, even if we removed the blockers on each other, that some package foo would compile against mit, but work against heimdal. So, then, what is the point? I don’t know. But if you do, please let me know.
