Hi,

I'm working on some of the mail-related packages, and found some issues
that I would like to ask which the better way for a fix would be.

a) fetchmail doesnt build because it can not find krb5-config.
   It can not find it because the sunw kerberos one is in /usr/sun/bin,
   which is not in its path.
   It can not find the Ubuntu one because when porting that package, its
   name was changed to libkrb5-config.

situation with libkrb5 is currently not cleared up yet. I'm voting for
OpenSolaris krb5 - to be a default in Nexenta. This would preserver
compatibility with OpenSolaris distros. The ubuntu packages which are
using krb5 are 99% autoconf/automake aware and should be able to detect
OpenSolaris diffs.
I'm not 100% familiar with the situation, but in case you guys aren't aware the krb5 implementation in onnv-gate has several rather important sun related improvements. I've briefly discussed making a patch against vanilla with the maintainer before, but it's simply on my TODO list and not done yet. So is this some choice between ubuntu package without sun enhancements or onnv-gate version?
