Hi,

Hi Joerg,
I don't think that having the base system depend on a port is the right
solution to resolving the libgssapi compatibility problems in base.
Did you ever come across the old PR kern/147454 that I submitted in
June? In it I included a src patch that replaced the base system's
libgssapi with upstream Heimdal's, which resolved all libgssapi
compatibility problems. That patch is now stale, but either way I
haven't been able to draw enough attention to the issue to have it fixed.
Hi Benjamin,
the patch is not being meant to change the default. So default world
builds will still use what we have in base now. It's just an additional
option.
There are already other places in base where one can link against stuff
from ports. E.g. you can build base heimdal with OpenLDAP hdb backend
support (see src/kerberos5/Makefile.inc) or you can build base sendmail
with SASL and OpenLDAP support (see /etc/make.conf for SASL instructions)
or you can build base bind with IDN and XML support (see
src/usr.sbin/named/Makefile or in src.conf(5) the WITH_BIND_IDN and
WITH_BIND_XML option).
So it's not really uncommon to build base and link/use stuff from ports.
I think as long as base is self hosting and you're not required to have
somthing from ports installed just to be able to actually build world
successful, everything is fine.
I'm aware of kern/147454 and it will probably of use for my ongoing work
in this area.
Kind regards
Joerg
