Bug#97300: ITP: kerberos-configus - package to manage configuration files for multiple Kerberos implementations

[Sam Hartman <hartmans@mit.edu>]

package: wnpp
severity: wishlist


In an attempt to solve bug #80365, I found that we needed
infrastructure to manage config files for Kerberos versions 4 and 5.
We have two implementations of each version of Kerberos in Debian
currently.  The can in general share the same config files, so it is
desirable not to lose configuration information when removing/purging
one implementation for another.

Thus, I have authored kerberos-configs, a package to manage the config
files.  There is a version available (referenced within the bug) that
supports krb5.  The krb4 support will be added once krb5 support is
finalized.

I will coordinate with the other maintainers of Kerberos
implementations to upload this package.

It's getting to a point where it is worth ITping the package, so I can upload once coordination is complete.  The package is released under the GPL, so it should be fine for non-us.
