Bug Description
Untested but shows no problems when recompiling libneon26 (dpkg-buildpkg) with heimdal-dev instead of MIT on Feisty. Changing dependency on krb5-dev to "krb5-dev | heimdal-dev" in debian/control would be a first step. My ultimate goal is Heimdal's in-memory credentials cache (which is working with the above changes) which could enable a user session Identity Manager.
I would like to see heimdal as the default build but I'm sure there will be more discussion first. At least being able to say it *can* build with heimdal will help when enumerating packages that need to be migrated.
To post a comment you must log in.
The 'main' component must be self-containing: packages from main must only depend (and build-depend) on packages in main.
neon26 and krb5 are both in main, but heimdal is in universe.
To change this you would need to get heimdal included in main to be able to build-depend on it in neon26.
The best place to figure out if such a change is possible would be the ubuntu- devel-discuss mailing list.
