freebsd security - Jul 2006 - HEADS UP: Krb5-1.5

There is an issue with the new Kerberos 1.5. It does not currently support 
building static libraries. I'm willing to leave the port at 1.4.3 until MIT 
fixes the static library build. OTOH, if folks want 1.5, without static 
library support, the 1.5 port is ready to commit. I may update the port to 
build 1.5 if static libraries are not wanted and build 1.4.3 if they are 
wanted. Static libraries are not a high priority for the Kerberos project 
at the moment.

There is no simple solution to the problem. Now that Kerberos supports plugins,
static linking is no longer supported, at least not until the Kerberos
development team has thought through the issue of how to handle plugins in a
statically linked environment. I will commit the krb5 1.5 upgrade to the port as
soon as I finish up the pkg-plist.
