What makes you think that? The Cyrus-SASL mailing lists are active and have big name guys (Howard Chu, Henry Hotz) contributing patches, etc. to the Cyrus-SASL git repo. Alexey Melnikov (current maintainer) also has contributed within the last few months. > I noticed there is a gnusasl (gsasl) which seems to > be actively developed.

That circular dependency has been there forever. Build Cyrus-SASL (without LDAP), the build LDAP with Cyrus-SASL support, then build Cyrus-SASL again, this time with LDAP support. > q3: what functionality does cyrus-sasl have that gsasl does not have and vice- > versa Not sure, but the LDAP docs do not mention gsasl and specifically say you must have Cyrus-SASL installed for sasl support. You would have to install gsasl and then try to build packages that use sasl support (LDAP, Kerberos, IMAP stuff, etc.) to see if they will use it. -- Randy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
