Samba 3 relies on these symbols at the moment, so Samba 3 fails to build on Sid at the moment, primarily because configure finds the symbols but there is no prototype present. We already try to avoid using these symbols if we can't find them. If its doable, it would be nice if the symbols could at least be renamed upstream so that configure (especially in older versions of Samba) doesn't find them and existing versions of Samba 3 don't end up trying to use these functions. > However I suspect a far more important thing to address is whether we > can get to a point where you don't need private symbols. > krb5_kt_free_entry is probably fairly easy. There is a comment in the > krb5 1.6 krb5.h saying to use krb5_kt_free_entry_contents instead. Thanks, I'll fix this upstream. > The other symbols may be more problematic.
