Spankin’ BSD to the Kerb

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 (not the same 2 either). Additionally, iFlame has been looking into removing the com_err and et stuff from the freebsd-ubin and freebsd-libs packages for the Gentoo/FBSD project. I’m currently investigating what else (apart from e2fsprogs and the kerberi) actually requires any of the three so that DEPEND and/or RDEPEND strings can be updated.

The other concern is which version of com_err to go with. I’m inclined to go with heimdal’s patched version first and see if e2fsprogs will build against that. Major major major huge shout outs to SpankY.

The list of packages so far is (collecting here before emailing this list to spanky):

e2fsprogs
heimdal
MIT’s kerberos
fetchmail
