Re: pkg/45284: native Kerberos on Solaris (again)

[Jörn Clausen <joern.clausen%uni-bielefeld.de@localhost>]

Again: My question is: Why is this defined at all in this package?

security/mit-krb5 is v1.8 in pkgsrc. The Kerberos implementation in 
Solaris 10 is v1.4 (at least that's the version string, internally it 
has been patched probably to something in between). The actual version 
of the implementation used, as requested via e.g. PREFER_NATIVE, is 
determined dynamically in builtin.mk. Why isn't it sufficient if a 
depending package defines the minimal version required with

DEPENDS+= mit-krb5>=1.8

and that's it? (BTW: I think that is what mit-krb5-appl tries to do by 
using CONFLICTS for this.)
