Description Rok Papez 2010-07-09 13:44:06 UTC
1st package, needs a sponsor

Spec URL: http://www.pingo.org/aai/heimdal/heimdal.spec
SRPM URL: http://www.pingo.org/aai/heimdal/heimdal-1.3.3-1.arnes.src.rpm
Description:
Kerberos 5 is a network authentication and single sign-on system.
Heimdal is a free Kerberos 5 implementation without export restrictions
written from the spec (rfc1510 and successors) including advanced features
like thread safety, IPv6, master-slave replication of Kerberos Key
Distribution Center server and support for ticket delegation (S4U2Self,
S4U2Proxy).
This package can coexist with MIT Kerberos 5 packages. Hesiod is disabled
by default since it is deemed too big a security risk by the packager.

Comment 1 Andy Cobaugh 2010-09-16 20:27:49 UTC
I've been meaning to comment on this bug for a while now. Just getting back to it.

I recently took the specfile that you came up with and modified it a bit to hopefully bring it more inline with Fedora packaging guidelines, but more importantly to turn it into something I was happy with distributing to our machines here. On that note, I'm sure there are more things that can be done to bring it up to par before inclusion in Fedora.

First, the SRPM used to build the packages we're currently distributing to our clients:
ftp://ftp.bx.psu.edu/software/yum/centos/5/source/heimdal-1.3.3-3.bx.src.rpm

Offhand, a couple of things:
1) Heimdal is up to 1.4.1rc1, with a 1.4.1 release very soon according to Love.
2) Use %configure instead of ./configure
3) Change the way BuildRoot is defined, something like %(mktemp -ud %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-XXXXXX)
4) I'm not sure the Provides statements in the sub-packages are standard, or even do anything? Someone else may comment on those.
5) I disabled make check entirely, as it was failing for me on Centos 5.5, and I haven't had a chance to figure out why.
6) I redefine things like _bindir and _sbindir, among others, so that if we should ever someday make heimdal the default, or if someone wants something other than /usr/heimdal, changing that is as simple as changing %define hprefix %{_prefix}/heimdal at the top. Handling the coexistance of Heimdal with MIT krb is tricky either way, and I'm not sure if there's a pre-defined method of dealing with this in Fedora. I don't think using _prefix in %files is the right way to handle that (or rather, redefining _prefix).
7) I moved libexec to sbin. That's just a personal preference though.
8) The scriptlets (preun, postun, etc) should check $1 and modify their behavior accordingly. 

Side note: Maybe we could talk to the MIT folks at some point and see if they might be interested in using alternatives to handle the userland stuff like kinit, klist, etc?

I'd be happy to discuss this further. I will probably be dropping my 1.4.1 specfile somewhere as soon as it's released.

Comment 3 Jason Tibbitts 2010-11-30 00:25:38 UTC
I note that Rok never responded to Andy's comment.  A few folks have wanted to get Heimdal into Fedora and this is the second review ticket that's been filed, but for some reason things seem to stall out.  What's happening with this one?

Comment 4 Andrew Bartlett 2010-11-30 09:47:37 UTC
I'm keen for Heimdal to make it in to Fedora to make it more practical to have Samba4 in Fedora.  This is because Samba4's Active Directory Domain Control functionality is unlikely to support another Kerberos distribution, but it is preferred not to use bundled libraries in Fedora.

Currently Samba4 bundles Heimdal because we have custom patches to it, but in Ubuntu our Samba Team member Jelmer Vernooij also co-maintains Heimdal and has arranged that the versions be in sync, so that we can use system versions for at least some parts (with an aim to extend this so we don't bundle at all eventually).

Actually I wrote privately to Andy, I'm attaching a snippet:
================================================================
Regarding the libexec vs. sbin... I think libexec is for executables
that are not supposed to be run by a (super)user directly but by other
programmes. I'll check with the newest FHS since it's been some time
since I've studied it. Other comments I agree with or need to study
them closer :)).
Fedora does some things differently and I plan to suport bith CentOS
latest and Fedora with the same .src.rpm.
Looking forward to your specs file as I plan to make use of it ;).
================================================================

> What's happening with this one?

I'm just a packager here ;-). Not sure why Fedora ignored this package submission.

On the Heimdal front I'm more or less waiting for Heimdal 1.4.1 final and Centos 6. Since it's been quite a long time since 1.4.1rc1 was released and interest seems to have picked up, I've prepared the new release:
SRPMS: http://www.pingo.org/aai/heimdal/heimdal-1.4.1rc1-1.arnes.src.rpm
Fedora14 i386 and x86_64 build: http://www.pingo.org/aai/heimdal/fedora14/

pingo.org domain is currently unavailable (ISP changed the IP address of primary DNS for pingo.org with no warning). This will be resolved in the next couple of days. You can access the server by IP:
http://194.249.18.75/aai/heimdal/

Comment 8 Orion Poplawski 2011-01-21 18:36:39 UTC
Looks like there are a couple bundled libraries in heimdal - libtommath - modified (packaged in Fedora), imath (not packaged), and apparently modified versions of editline and libgssapi.

Also, I think we're going to need to use alternatives in Fedora to handle conflicts with MIT-Kerberos.  EL6 may be a pickle, since RedHat is unlikely to make the necessary changes to their package.

License audit is going to be fun.

I've not reviewd the licenses (yet) :).

Hmm... I'd prefer to have the same spec for both Fedora and RHEL/CentOS but if needed I'll split them. In current version Heimdal and MIT coexist, MIT binaries are first in the search path meaning they have precedence. I'm OK with this solution.
Alternatives might be nice but I doubt Fedora will want to invest any time in this.

Comment 10 Andy Cobaugh 2011-01-21 20:57:09 UTC
I would also prefer that they stay separate. Using alternatives to switch out things like kinit, kadmin, etc would probably have unintended consequences. The command line options to those tools is very different, for example. 

Unless Fedora decides to replace MIT with Heimdal entirely, I think keeping heimdal separate under /usr/heimdal would be preferable. 

Regarding bundled libraries, it might be a good idea to bring this up on the heimdal list and see what folks there have to say.

Comment 11 Orion Poplawski 2011-01-21 21:07:19 UTC
/usr/heimdal is just not going to be acceptable in Fedora as isn't doesn't follow the FHS.  You maybe could try to ask for an exception from FESCO.

Comment 13 Orion Poplawski 2011-01-21 22:36:43 UTC
To actually use the system sqlite library, it appears you need to pass this to configure: --with-sqlite=/usr.  I would be more happy with a patch that allowed you to remove lib/sqlite in %prep as well.

Comment 14 Orion Poplawski 2011-01-31 17:55:24 UTC
Looks like imath has been dropped in git master.  readline can be used instead of editline.  The gssapi lib is a heimdal library.  That leaves libtommath.  I've pointed heimdal to the new libtommath upstream so hopefully we can get them integrated.

Comment 15 Ken Dreyer 2011-03-26 19:15:16 UTC
I would love to get Heimdal into Fedora. Looking at the discussion above, in order to reconcile with MIT, we have the following options:

 1. Install to /usr/heimdal. This will require an exception from FESCo.

 2. Rename the Heimdal files to not conflict with MIT. Eg. "/usr/bin/kinit.heimdal", "kadmin.heimdal", etc. Use alternatives to switch between the two Kerberos implementations. This allows for side-by-side installations with MIT.

 3. Use Conflicts: with the appropriate MIT packages. You have to choose to install one or the other.

I imagine that #1 does not have a good chance of passing FESCo. Does #3 break useful things like pam_krb5? #2 seems like the path of least resistance to me... more experienced packagers, please weigh in your opinions.

Comment 16 Orion Poplawski 2011-03-28 16:08:44 UTC
I think this is exactly why "alternatives" was developed, so #2 is the appropriate solution.  This assumes that the commands for heimdal and MIT kerberos take essentially the same command line arguments.  Is that correct?  Shared libraries may be a trickier issue.

Comment 17 Andy Cobaugh 2011-03-28 16:19:05 UTC
Some of the commands are similar, some aren't. Some are drastically different. kadmin is different, kinit is different, klist is most certainly different.

If there are any scripts that use the MIT commands that expect a certain command line syntax, they will most certainly break with Heimdal.

Unless the user of alternatives doesn't require that the syntax be identical, then I would be in favor of #2.

Comment 18 Ken Dreyer 2011-03-28 17:01:55 UTC
Yeah, the commands are certainly different. 

I'm pretty sure most of the scripts that are distributed with Fedora will specify the full paths. For example, http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=krb5.git;f=kadmind.init;hb=refs/heads/master specifies "/usr/sbin/kadmind".

I prefer not to break user-written scripts, but on the other hand, if a user runs "alternatives", imho it is their responsibility to verify that this will not break their own user-written code.

(In reply to comment #16)
> Shared libraries may be a trickier issue.

If I understand the above discussion correctly, the two packages (MIT and Heimdal) can be installed side-by-side "out of the box", and it is only the names of the binaries themselves that conflict. Right?

Comment 19 Andy Cobaugh 2011-03-28 17:19:32 UTC
Fair enough. You use alternatives to switch to heimdal, then you take responsibility for things breaking. I like it.

So for binaries that conflict, rename them to foo.heimdal. I guess we would also need the krb5-* package folks to do the same?

What about man pages?

As far as libraries go, only conflict I see right now is libgssapi. libgssapi currently provides that, and that's the citi nfsv4 version.

I'm really wondering if we should just use Conflicts instead. Would avoid the need to use alternatives and the hassle of dealing with man pages and such. If someone installs heimdal, we could assume the user knows what they're doing.

conflicts between MIT and heimdal

An attempt at a list of conflicts between MIT and Heimdal.

Comment 21 Rok Papez 2011-03-28 22:12:33 UTC
In my opinion the /usr/heimdal is the most compatible option.

Alternatives are used when packages are similar. I dare to say that Heimdal and MIT Kerberos are too different. If nothing else the API in libraries is not binary compatible and applications linked with MIT Kerberos won't be happy with Heimdal libraries.

Same goes for using Conflicts. Some applications will need to have MIT Kerberos libraries installed.

Of course I'm very interested in getting Heimdal into Fedora and will use whatever option is prefered by Fedora.

Thanks, that is a useful list. Looks like it is more complicated than simply renaming the binaries.

I've filed https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/577 so that we can at least know whether /usr/heimdal is viable.

Comment 23 Orion Poplawski 2011-03-29 22:31:31 UTC
I've put a (heavily) modified version of the package here:

http://www.cora.nwra.com/~orion/fedora/heimdal-1.4.1rc2-1.fc14.src.rpm
http://www.cora.nwra.com/~orion/fedora/heimdal.spec

This starts some of the work needed towards using alternatives in that it renames conflicting files.  This is able to be installed in parallel to the MIT krb5-* packages.  Many more things need to be done, including:

- Set up alternatives.
- Set up alternatives for the MIT krb5 package.
- Decide what to do about the other utilities (e.g.: ftp, login, pagsh, rcp, rsh, su, telnet) that conflict with other packages.
- Heimdal installs a couple items in different locations than MIT does (e.g. /usr/sbin/kadmin vs. /usr/bin/kadmin).  Should these be aligned?
- test, test, test.

(In reply to comment #23)
> I've put a (heavily) modified version of the package here:

Cool, thanks for putting this together. Rok, as the official submitter, are you interested in merging these changes in? Here are my initial comments.

IMHO it is more straightforward to use what you've done with libdir and mirror that in includedir. The conflicts guidelines on the wiki says "Header Name Conflicts - Put the headers in a subdirectory of /usr/include". So, we should use, eg. /usr/include/heimdal/gssapi/gssapi.h instead of /usr/include/gssapi.heimdal/gssapi.h.

This gets even more complicated when there is stuff like /usr/include/krb5.h.heimdal and /usr/include/gssapi.h.heimdal . IMHO, just put these all in a subdirectory and be done with it. I.e. --includedir=%{_includedir}/heimdal

There are some other things that were the result of redefining %{_prefix}

  --with-openssl=/usr \
  --with-openldap=/usr \
  --with-readline-include=/usr/include/readline \
  --with-readline-lib=%{_libdir} \
  --with-sqlite3=/usr \

These can go back to using macros. Eg  --with-openssl = %{_prefix} , or --with-readline-include = %{_includedir}/readline

> - Decide what to do about the other utilities (e.g.: ftp, login, pagsh, rcp,
> rsh, su, telnet) that conflict with other packages.

MIT puts these utilities in krb5-appl-clients. We could break Heimdal's versions into a similar sub-package.

Interesting that krb5-appl-clients uses /usr/kerberos still.

Yeah, kadmin and ktutil can move from /usr/sbin to /usr/bin. These don't require local root access, and this matches krb5-workstation's layout.

(In reply to comment #25)

Thanks. We can also now drop Source4 and 5, heimdal.sh and heimdal.csh, from profile.d in heimdal-libs.

I'm looking over http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Alternatives, and I guess if we ever want this to work fully we'll need nalin to agree to use alternatives in MIT as well.

Comment 31 Orion Poplawski 2011-09-27 17:41:56 UTC
Note also that a number of changes will need to be done for systemd in Fedora 15+.

Comment 32 Rok Papez 2011-09-28 06:09:53 UTC
AFAIK systemd:
- has compatibility mode for legacy SysV init scripts
- needs changes in upstream source-code to handle inetd style connection passing
- is not mandatory
- isn't available yet on CentOS 6 / RHEL

What do others think about systemd? Do we need it, prefer it or don't like it? :-)

True.  You're going to need to support both :)

This is looking good.

One suggestion on handling conflicting binaries: With 1.5.1.pre20110912git-2, half the apps are renamed, and half are in /usr/lib/heimdal/bin . I'd rather we just go with ".heimdal" for everything. It will be clearer if everything follows the same convention, and it will be easier to use the man pages when everything's in the same directory. What do you think?

Another thing to nail down before a formal review is the license tag. The GPL popped up on  Orion's fossology run, but running git grep on master shows there are no GPL sources, so I think we can safely say "BSD and MIT". 

Still need to look into the bundled libraries listed above, and what would be involved to unbundle.

Comment 36 Rok Papez 2011-10-04 16:15:53 UTC
Heimdal 1.5.1 is released, rpms are here:

I'm not sure I want to add .heimdal for everything. It's already too much typing (tabbing) :-). Opinions?

Will look into license and bundled libraries.

> I'm not sure I want to add .heimdal for everything. It's already too much

Yeah, I am not excited about it. I do think .heimdal is the way to go for the long term... If we try to munge $PATH with /etc/profile.d/heimdal.sh, we're re-inventing the functionality that alternatives provides, in a less flexible way. I'm hoping we can try to get a solution on bug 692606.

I mocked the SRPM on F15 i686, looks good here.

One note: /etc/profile.d/heimdal.sh adds /usr/lib/heimdal/sbin/, but there's no such directory. Just normal "bin" is appropriate.

Comment 38 Rok Papez 2012-07-04 15:48:01 UTC
Heimdal 1.5.2 for Fedora 17 is released, rpms are here:

http://www.pingo.org/aai/heimdal/fedora17/i386/
http://www.pingo.org/aai/heimdal/centos6/x86_64/

SRPMS: http://www.pingo.org/aai/heimdal/heimdal-1.5.2-3.fc17.src.rpm
Specs: http://www.pingo.org/aai/heimdal/heimdal.spec

Please test! There have been a lot of changes/updates.

Changes:
=============
- updated to upstream 1.5.2
  - added support for Fedora 17
  - fixed wrong PATH on x86_64
  - fixed IPv6 and multiple interfaces bug in krb5_parse_address:
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=808147
  - added support for .heimdal prefix to kcc
  - /usr/lib/heimdal/sbin/ is not added to the PATH
  - Libraries and source files licenses reviewed, everything looks OK
  - please find bashrc in documentation directory for creating aliases to Heimdal
    binaries, it makes life much easier

- Drop the version requirements on the BRs, they are very old.  Even EL5 has much newer versions.

- We don't use ,s in License, need and or or and appropriate.

Otherwise, nice to see some progress here.

Comment 40 Alexander Boström 2013-06-28 11:27:18 UTC
Here's a somewhat different take:

SRPMS: https://people.kth.se/~abo/tmp/heimdal/heimdal-1.5.2-3.fc18.kth.15.src.rpm
Specs: https://people.kth.se/~abo/tmp/heimdal/heimdal.spec

Feel free to use whatever you like from this.

Changes/differences:

* Installs in /usr/{bin,sbin,libexec}/

* Uses a heimdal- prefix instead of a .heimdal suffix, when necessary.

* Binaries also in /usr/lib/heimdal/bin/ without a prefix. (Always /usr/lib, lib64 is only for libraries!)

* An optional heimdal-path subpackage which adds the bin directory to PATH.

* Split the unified service into multiple services - this makes it much easier to convert to systemd units later.

* Add kdc.conf, move KDC config files to /etc, leave symlinks in /var/heimdal

* PAM provides a file that's just like login.access, use that.

...and various small changes.

I don't think "alternatives" are appropriate in this case because the binaries are not compatible enough. (Compare with java where it's very easy to switch between versions and implementations.)

Comment 41 Alexander Boström 2013-07-30 15:02:56 UTC
The above didn't actually build on F18 (used EPEL as my test environment). Also, the prefix munge patch was broken. So here's another try:

SRPMS: https://people.kth.se/~abo/tmp/heimdal/heimdal-1.5.2-3.fc18.kth.19.src.rpm
Specs: https://people.kth.se/~abo/tmp/heimdal/heimdal.spec

This builds on F18, but not on F19 for some texi related reason I don't understand. The patch to hack off "heimdal-" from argv[0] should work now. Also fixed a filename conflict with MIT.

I'd rather not take over this request, but I could be comaintainer, especially for EPEL6.

Comment 42 Ken Dreyer 2013-08-06 23:05:06 UTC
Alexander and I are continuing work on this package. We've decided to try to package 1.5.3. This version is tagged in Git, but upstream did not provide tarballs for this release, so I generated one from the tag and placed it on fedorapeople.org.

I've pushed my work here: https://gitorious.org/ktdreyer/heimdal-packaging . You can get it and build it with the following set of commands:

$ git clone git://gitorious.org/ktdreyer/heimdal-packaging.git heimdal
$ cd heimdal
$ wget http://ktdreyer.fedorapeople.org/heimdal/heimdal-1.5.3.tar.xz
$ fedpkg --dist f19 mockbuild

The package builds fine on el6. Remaining issues before acceptance into Fedora:
- Fix texi problems on Fedora 19
- Add systemd unit files
- Test that this KDC actually works :)

And my own personal TODO: ensure that we also get the recent patches from the tip of the heimdal-1-5-branch, so we're compatible with OpenAFS's rxkad-k5.

Alexander (and others), are you ok with using Git/Gitorious to track changes  on this package while we work out the remaining issues?

Comment 43 Ken Dreyer 2013-08-19 18:05:45 UTC
An update: Heimdal upstream is reluctant to issue a another formal 1.5 release, so we're packaging the tip of the heimdal-1-5-branch. Our package in Gitorious is basically ready to go except for a single issue.

The final remaining issue is that Heimdal's bundled libtommath has been modified slightly (adding a couple new functions). Apparently this bundling/forking happened when the upstream libtommath author declared the project dead:

https://list.sics.se/sympa/arc/heimdal-discuss/2011-01/msg00025.html

Heimdal will not build against the libtommath-devel package in Fedora. Alexander has submitted a pull request to libtommath to get Heimdal's patches included:

https://github.com/libtom/libtommath/pull/14

Comment 44 Orion Poplawski 2013-10-20 02:12:45 UTC
Rok - do you want to continue to be the owner of the review/package?  Do you still need a sponsor?

Comment 45 Orion Poplawski 2013-10-20 02:16:24 UTC
Current libtommath pull request https://github.com/libtom/libtommath/pull/18

Comment 46 Ken Dreyer 2013-10-21 16:37:32 UTC
Hi Rok,

Are you ok with Alexander and I taking this package over?

Comment 47 Rok Papez 2013-10-22 19:37:43 UTC
Yes, I'm OK with Ken and Alexander taking over the project. I've done some work on the new 1.5.3 for fedora 19, please feel free to grab whatever you find 
useable:

SRPMS: http://net9.si/~rok/rpms/heimdal-1.5.3-1.fc19.src.rpm
Specs: http://net9.si/~rok/rpms/heimdal.spec

I'll help with the package as I find the time....

Orion: Can you arrange a sponsor for the RPM? That would really boost this project. I got the impression Fedora project wasn't interested in this package and would prefer for it to... hmm.... sleep forever ;))).

Comment 48 Orion Poplawski 2013-10-22 19:48:37 UTC
Ken is a packager (and a sponsor) so no worries there.

Comment 49 Rok Papez 2013-10-23 05:44:06 UTC
Excellent, looking forward to seeing Heimdal in Fedora :-)).

Comment 50 Ken Dreyer 2013-10-23 20:58:46 UTC
Heimdal 1.6 was branched yesterday. When 1.6 is tagged we will ship that. My work-in-progress update to the packaging is on the "1.6" branch in Gitorious.

Note that we're still waiting on the merge between upstream libtommath and Heimdal's bundled copy, since this is the one thing that holds up this review. https://github.com/libtom/libtommath/pull/18

Comment 51 Paul Robert Marino 2013-11-03 22:44:08 UTC
Can we consolidate this effort on Github or some similar site for spec files, patches, etc..
I'm planning to do some stuff with Heimdal and 389 server integration in the near future and Id like a uniform rpm file base to work with.

The first set would be a mostly Perl based part is a password sync plugin set. The first script would be via a kpasswdd policy check script that would change the password for the user in 389 server and allow 389 server to check it via it's internal policy check. The second would be a slightly more ambitious plugin for 389 server to update the users password in a Heimdal KDC without creating a loop. 

The next I'm considering writing a Perl based kadmin command proxy script using either Expect or Heimdal::Kadm5 that would try to emulate the MIT kadmin command syntax used by FreeIPA but thats a bit more ambitious.

Sure. Our latest spec file and package is on Gitorious. https://gitorious.org/ktdreyer/heimdal-packaging


Regarding the bundled libtommath, the libtommath library in Heimdal's master branch is much closer to upstream libtommath now, but it's still not 100% there.

I've requested a bundling exception from the FPC: https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/387

I would appreciate it if the interested parties could add themselves as CC's to that FPC trac ticket.

Comment 53 Christopher Meng 2014-01-21 00:44:09 UTC
Better waiting for the merge on github and build from snapshot?

I'm maintaining dropbear in Fedora which also depends on libtom(I just unbundled libtom* libraries in Sep)

Comment 54 Ken Dreyer 2014-01-21 00:57:04 UTC
Hi Christopher, Alexander's latest pull request on GitHub (https://github.com/libtom/libtommath/pull/18) is out of date with what's now bundled in Heimdal's 1.6 branch. So that pull request will never be merged as-is. We will need to open new pull requests, which I've done at https://github.com/libtom/libtommath/pull/21 , https://github.com/libtom/libtommath/pull/22 , https://github.com/libtom/libtommath/pull/23 for starters.

Please read the FPC ticket in its entirety. The problem is that upstream libtommath's mp_expt_d() function does not operate the way that Heimdal needs it to operate.

Comment 55 Ken Dreyer 2014-04-29 18:04:52 UTC
The libtommath bundling exception passed the FPC, so there are no more blockers to accepting this into Fedora.

I've updated the package to the latest 1.6 git snapshot.

Comment 56 Orion Poplawski 2014-04-29 21:18:39 UTC
So, I did a local build of this on my F20 box and it failed running the tests.  I notice that configure picked up a few extra things on my local build:

+checking lex library... -lfl
+checking whether yytext is a pointer... yes

Does not appear to be used though

+checking for CAPNG... yes

> BuildRequires:  libcap-ng-devel

-checking for crypto library... included libhcrypto
+checking for crypto library... libcrypto

So, what to do here.  Somehow I missed that heimdal's libhcrypto is a SSL reimplementation, and can be swapped out for openssl.  It also appears to be the user of libtommath.  Do we want to use libhcrypto or openssl?  

+checking db.h usability... yes
+checking db.h presence... yes
+checking for db.h... yes
+checking for db_create... yes, in -ldb

> BuildRequires:  libdb-devel (instead of db4-devel)

+checking whether to enable OTP library... yes

This comes from having libdb.

Other missed items:

checking for libintl... no

Not sure why it isn't finding this.


My rawhide build with this failed with:
Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
   /usr/bin/otp
   /usr/bin/otpprint
   /usr/share/man/man1/otp.1.gz
   /usr/share/man/man1/otpprint.1.gz

Which look to be a little too generic.

Don't know why my local tests are failing but mock/koji builds are fine.

I've added this in.

Wow, I totally missed this. You're right. I was missing BR: openssl-devel, and the build system wasn't erroring when I used --with-openssl. Now that I've added the BR, libhcrypto (including libtommath) is not present.

I haven't tested the OpenSSL backend myself, but the test suite passes at least.  That simplifies things from Fedora's perspective.

Great catch again. That explains the mystery of why the otp utilities were only building on RHEL 6. I've adjusted the package to use libdb-devel on Fedora and db4-devel on RHEL 6.

I can't even find a package that ships libintl.so. I guess Red Hat gettext doesn't have this.

You're right. Once I sorted out the libdb-devel situation I can package those files on both Fedora and RHEL.

Here's the new version:

* Tue Apr 29 2014 ktdreyer - 1.6.0-0.3.20140429gitd60ba47
- Add BR libdb-devel on Fedora (RHBZ #613001)
- Add BR openssl-devel and libcap-ng-devel (RHBZ #613001)
- Only set BuildRoot on el5
- Alphabetize non-conditional BuildRequires
- Remove duplicate BR openldap-devel

Comment 59 Ken Dreyer 2014-05-07 04:48:17 UTC
Thanks very much for the review. I'm working on addressing the issues you mentioned.

We kept %defattr() because we were going to support EL5. I'm on the fence about supporting EL5 now, but let's keep it in for now.

I'll post an updated package in the next couple of days.

%defattr() isn't needed even in EL5.

Comment 61 Michael Schwendt 2014-05-07 15:48:52 UTC
> %defattr() isn't needed even in EL5.

More precisely: not for Fedora koji based EL5 builds and not for recent EL5 dist releases either, but only for older 5.x releases.

Comment 62 Ken Dreyer 2014-05-26 22:09:07 UTC
Here's the new version. This should address the issues in comment #58 (along with other fixes).

* Thu May 22 2014 Ken Dreyer <ktdreyer> - 1.6.0-0.4.20140522git229d8c7

- Install Texinfo files (RHBZ #613001)
- Add Provides: heimdal-static to -devel subpackage (RHBZ #613001)
- Drop %%defattr (RHBZ #613001)
- Add text content to kadmind.acl to help users (and remove a zero-length file)
- Install profile.d scripts with non-executable permissions
- Remove .la files

A couple of comments on the remaining rpmlint issues:
- rpmlint found a dangling-symlink, but I don't see how this could be the case,
  since it Requires: pam, which Provides the symlink destination,
  /etc/security/access.conf.
- invalid-locale-man-dir - this is a result of putting the man pages in a
  "heimdal" subdirectory so they don't conflict with existing man pages in
  other packages.
- Some files have non-standard-dir-perm or non-readable settings. These files
  should only be readable by root, so it's ok to ignore rpmlint warnings about
  these.
- The /etc/heimdal-slaves file is zero-length because there's no content to add
  to it by default. (Deleting the file from the package would leave a dangling
  symlink in /var/heimdal.)
- The devel-file-in-non-devel-package warnings are because Heimdal has plugins
  that look like shared libraries.
- The explicit-lib-dependency error with heimdal-path is a false positive:
  heimdal-path requires end-user binaries, not shared libaries that could be
  autorequired. The cleanest solution is to just Require: heimdal-libs.

Great, looking good.

Yeah, rpmlint can't figure this out, so it warns about the possibility.

I see two of these:

# ls /usr/share/man/heimdal/man5/
ftpusers.5.gz  login.access.5.gz

ftpusers is essentially a duplicate of ftpusers(5) from man-pages, so I would contemplate just not shipping it.

I can't find a login.access man page anywhere else, so it seems like that could be installed normally.


I think there are problems with the heimdal-klist and heimdal-kswitch symlinks.  Looks like heimtools does not recognize those names and so is asking for a command as if you ran "heimtools" directly:

$ heimdal-klist
klist, list
        klist
kgetcred
        kgetcred
kswitch, switch
        kswitch
kvno
        kvno
copy_cred_cache
        copy_cred_cache
help, ?
        help [command]

Comment 65 Orion Poplawski 2014-05-29 15:43:02 UTC
Also, the xinetd stuff should be replaced with systemd configs.

Comment 66 Ken Dreyer 2014-05-31 09:26:04 UTC
Upstream fixed a large bug in the krb5-config utility so I'm updating the Git snapshot again to the tip of 1.6.

I've taken your advice and installed login.users(5) into the regular place and removed ftpusers(5) from the package altogether. With these changes, we can avoid shipping %{_mandir}/%{name} entirely.

Thank you for catching heimdal-klist breaking. I've fixed that in Patch0. It's small enough that I'm comfortable carrying that one in Fedora.

Thanks also for catching the kadmind bug with systemd. I've fixed that in Patch6 and submitted it upstream.

I'm a bit hesitant to remove xinted altogether since Alexander put so much work into repairing those bits of the packaging, and I suspect that a number of sites use it. However, I haven't heard from Alexander in a while, and I completely agree that systemd should be the option that we promote going forward. Unless I hear screams I'm going to remove xinted per your suggestion, especially for the platforms that are already have systemd (ie RHEL 7 and Fedora).

Comment 67 Orion Poplawski 2014-05-31 13:00:24 UTC
We're going to need xinetd still on <=EL6, so I'm fine with either keeping it for now and then migrating to systemd sockets after import, or adding the systemd socket stuff now with conditionals in the .spec file.  Up to you as to how you want to maintain the spec file across the branches.

Comment 68 Orion Poplawski 2014-06-26 20:53:48 UTC
Looks good.  Approved.

Comment 69 Ken Dreyer 2014-06-26 23:43:10 UTC
Thanks very much for the review!

I've updated the package restrict xinetd to EL5 and EL6. EL7 and Fedora will only support systemd
