Because the last 3 times I tried to start submitting packages directly to Fedora I found the process very burdensome and frustrating, and got no meaningful help when I asked. Also, it seemed clear that actually building Samba with Heimdal Kerberos was unwelcome to Fedora or Red Hat. And the last time I spoke with any of the authors of Kerberos about the mess, it took them a while to stop laughing about the mess. And yes, I know a bunch of the original authors socially, though not professionally. > It already contain the MIT or Heimdal Kerberos flag: > > %global with_system_mit_krb5 0 > > Is sufficient set it to '1' for default packaging and who wants to use > heimdal can rebuild it setting this flag to '0' via line command > > This is another way to resolve this issue > > Thanks Well, yes. That's why I publish the suite. I was under the strong impression that it wouldn't be welcome due to the announced desire "not to support another Kerberos" in Fedora or for Red Hat as a company. But since it works, works well, and Samba supports it, I'll continue to publish the updates for a while. I admit that my packaging relies extensively on Rawhide for updates, and I do resync occasionally for maximum compatibility. If anyone can resolve the Kerberos discrepancies and get full domain controller working well for Samba with MIT Kerberos, I'll be happy to congratulate them and buy them beer or maybe even dinner. I''m in the Boston area, and hey, maybe I even know them. I admit that I anticipate that, with the recent purchase by IBM, that FreeIPA will be dropped as a non-viable project, which would allow a a switch to Heimdal based Kerberos with a future Fedora release. Since FreeIPa's creation in 2007, I've not seen a single case where Samba, especially Samba in collaboration with Active Directory, wasn't a better choice. But I could be wrong. I've only been publishing Samba ports and working with it professionally since..... 1993? In networks up of to 13,000 servers? So what do I know? _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
