For myself I'm unconvinced that it makes sense to have static libraries used for aid. I was really hoping the security team would comment on this one way or another. I can certainly create libkrb5-static. But I'd rather have a broader consensus of the project than just the aid maintainer agreeing

Hello, As there is no progress with this issue since nearly two months, I would now suggest to go along with the third option cited below. I think a 'libkrb5-static package' is a good compromise to solve both bugs and enable me to use curl with aide. What do you think? Best regards Hannes On W

Dear security team, as suggested by Sam I ask you to comment on the following issue. I want to statically link my package aide to libcurl, which is statically linked for security reasons. Since krb5 does not support static libraries any longer (#439039), the static library of libcurl is now usele

2013-05-15 Thread Sam Hartman
My recommendation is that we talk to the security team. The biggest disadvantage of all these static libs running around is the number of packages they need to do security updates for. We could ask them about whether it's better to have: 1) no static aide 2) a static libcurl with less functionali

2013-05-10 Thread Sam Hartman
There are reasons that the krb5 upstream build does not include static libs. The main problem is that more and more krb5 depends on plugins for various things. As an example, preauthentication, KDC location,' GSS-API mechanisms all support plugins. In the krb5 in wheezy, you cannot request FAST c
