Hello, A patch [0] was proposed a while back on the cyrus-sasl list to allow crypt in libsasl2. The original message [1] is also available. Anyhow, some time ago, someone filed a bug [2] against the Debian package of cyrus-sasl2 asking that the patch in [0] be included. Now, I have checked and the patch still applies cleanly to version 2.1.22. However, I am hesitant to agree that such a change would be good, as I think it would be a rather significant departure for the Debian package to take from the upstream source in terms of supporting a different hashing or encryption mechanism.
I'd like to hear people's opinions on this. My vote (for the Debian people) is that if upstream says that they don't want the patch, that we close the bug and be done with it.
