Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
Mikael asked me to remove krb4 from Debian because he no longer has time:
Mikael> I'm not maintaining it and I think that all kerberos4
Mikael> support should be removed from debian because it's
Mikael> unsecure and the kerberos4kth packages should be removed
Mikael> from future versions of debian. If you have any discussion
Mikael> with the mit krb maintainer you can let him know my point
Mikael> of view and do anything you want with the kerberos4kth
Mikael> package you want.
It also is obsolete and has release critical bugs.
The only package that depends on krb4 appears to be Arla, it also has release
critical bugs, in Mikael's words:
Mikael> Arla should need a rebuild against your newer heimdal-dev
Mikael> package, and when that's done it will probably not depend
Mikael> on krb4 anymore.
I am about to orphan Arla for Mikael.
I am CCing this to debian-devel in case I made a mistake and somebody still
does use it.
