[gentoo-dev] Kerberos maintainer wanted!
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks! The kerberos herd in gentoo is pretty understaffed. That's the reason why I want to advertise this developer job to _YOU_! Kerberos in gentoo is nevertheless not in bad condition but there are some user requests and a lot of ideas to enhance things. USER REQUESTS: - Get real ldap backend support especially in heimdal (personally I think it's technical nonsense to store a security related dataset in a system which was developed for public access - but it is a user request!) - Of course work on open bugs. (most of them contain enhancement requests and compatibility issues with other ebuilds) ENHANCEMENTS: - Further work on heimdal, mit-krb5 _AND_ GNU Shishi (still not part of our tree) to give users free choice which implementation to use. - Enhance integration of kerberos in applications like OpenAFS, OpenSSH aso. - Split server and client part. - Write documentation on all the kerberos related things in gentoo. (How to configure kerberos server, client, replication, aso.) All security relevant patches are included ATM and ebuilds are more or less up to date. There is krb-1.7 pending for stabilization but there is no hurry since all relevant patches are back ported to our stable version. heimdal-1.2.2 is in rc status and will become stable soon. If you are interested please read [1] to get an idea how to become a gentoo developer. Then have a look on the open bugs at [2]. I'd really appreciate your help. Kerberos is an important part of any modern distribution and a lot of applications have dependencies on it. On the other hand not many people do actively use kerberos in their environments. I'd say whom should use the system to maintain it. So let's tame the beast and get into hades - you won't miss the experience! ;) Greets, Michael [1] ... http://bit.ly/2m0joR [2] ... http://bit.ly/hAK2Y - -- - Michael Hammer|mu...@gentoo.org | Graz, AT Gentoo Developer (Kerberos) | http://www.michael-hammer.at -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkrv57sACgkQPsRu3xul8N6+YQCfflvunlUFCAZ6ZgPOrp7mc1ea 2ngAmgKKKQsprt/IWgynXAVT1mb4lgoN =7YYa -END PGP SIGNATURE-

Does sticking to dates have any real benefits?
YES - you don't have to think about another versioning scheme ;) It's
nice to see how people are switching to ${year}.${month} and after a
while discussing if it isn't better to switch back to an numerous
versioning. That's a kind of endless recursion ... isn't it?

The wiki can be a staging ground for user contributed documents, which can become part of official docs after a review and cleanup by developers. That's the way I intended my proposal. As some kind of early state GDP documents. It's an unwritten fact that user are willing to contribute to wiki systems - but I've never received an xml file for our GDP written by a user ;) ...

Re: [gentoo-dev] EAPI-2
Hi folks! I am not involved in creating the EAPI 2 draft but I am interested in the discussion and would like to track the technical evolution but this seams nearly impossible as you're not able to agree on a public draft document. * Ciaran McCreesh [EMAIL PROTECTED] [080911 20:02]: On Mon, 08 Sep 2008 23:34:28 + Jorge Manuel B.

Does anyone have any objections to this proposal? I've prepared patches for PMS for this lot. They can be found on the branch 'eapi-2' at git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/pms.git . Can we use these as the definitive definition? So my request to the council is not a technical decision on the content itself but at least a decision about which document is the official draft. So here are my suggestions: (which are an enhancement over the GLEP process) - An official (by the council accepted) VCS repo (a la git) for the document (EAPI draft or even the PMS spec?) - An interface (mailing address) where everyone interested can submit a patch for this document and a herd which is responsible for maintaining and merging the patches if accepted. (- we need a procedure especially for the accept of patches. Voting, council decision, herd decision) - A project page where the patches are published (and evtl. can be voted) and the HEAD is public readable - The technical discussion can then be made in mailing list but then every dev has a possibility to follow the technical issues in a concentrated way and we have a place where we can cite and ref to. - To make this work any other document or source for drafts has to be declined and not discussed (this seams hard but is IMHO the only way to make things work) So long and thx for all the fish, mueli p.S.: If I missed something and something I mentioned already exists then please correct me or forget my request but please be also so kind and publish in a documentation (perhaps somewhere at [1]) where to find informations on the EAPI process.

[gentoo-dev] app-crypt/kstart License questionable
Hi! I'd like to add kstart to the tree and have a question to the license of the package. It's some kind of combination of the MIT License with a few minor licenses. Should I add the whole license file to the tree? Here is the link: http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/kstart/license.html There is a very similar situation on the sys-auth/pam_krb5 package which is also from Russ Allbery.
