I am actually against it, based on the dialog in the bug ticket.. Is this patch not included upstream, as the ticket mentioned? If that is the case, and considering the extreme sensitivity of ssh in general, I think we should as close to upstream as possible.
The patch is secondary. openssh supports kerberos and thus heimdal without any patches.
I venture a bet that not many people use kerberos'd ssh too. I guess I don't see why somebody couldn't build their own ssh package with the kerberos patches.
True, but it's really just a configure flag, and Jan uses it, which weighs a lot. Either way, I didnt really want to question that specific bug there, but wanted to question moving heimdal to core - kerberos support libs in our core repository sounds reasonable to me
