Package: heimdal-multidev
Version: 1.6~rc2+dfsg-8
Severity: wishlist
OpenAFS is starting the process of creating a new stable release branch,
and the new branch will have dependencies on libroken and libhcrypto
(hcrypto will be covered separately). Upstream OpenAFS bundles copies
of roken and hcrypto, but for Debian it is presumably better to use
the system's version instead. Upstream has nominal support for using
external roken (though not, at present, hcrypto) in the form of a configure
argument --with-roken=DIR. However, the implementation of the configure
check just attempts to set CPPFLAGS+=-I${DIR}/include and
LDFLAGS+=-L${DIR}/lib, which would require the use of heimdal-dev instead
of heimdal-multidev. Given the other packages I comaintain, it would be
highly inconvenient to have heimdal-dev installed to work on openafs,
so I am interested in ways to get openafs working with only heimdal-multidev.
I do not see any real way around this that does not involve some changes
to upstream openafs, but it might be easier if there was (e.g.) a pkg-config
file for libroken. I suppose a separate libroken-dev package would suffice
for my purposes, but might be quite awkward from your perspective.
Do you have any thoughts on this matter?
When I started writing this feature request, I thought there were some
symbols required by openafs that were not provided by the current
libroken18-heimdal-1.6~rc2+dfsg-8, but I no longer believe that is the
case. So, it's just the question of how to hook the system libroken into
the openafs build, which is patchable in openafs if nothing else.
Please close this bug if you don't think there is anything reasonable that
can be done on the heimdal side to support this use case.
Thanks,
Ben
