+1 for renaming --- anybody who's building with "krb5" and expecting to, you know, actually *get* krb5 would probably rather find out about this change at build time instead of down the road a ways.
A compromise position would be to introduce a gss parameter while leaving krb5 in place as a deprecated (perhaps undocumented?) synonym for it. But I think that's basically confusing.
Yeah, I'm not sure it actually helps much.
Andrew - is this going to cause any issues wrt the buildfarm, by any chance?
None of my Windows buildfarm members builds with krb5. Mastodon does, although it seems to have gone quiet for 16 days (Dave - might be worth a check). Probably the result of renaming krb5 would be just that the build would proceed without it. From memory I don't thing the config settings are sanity checked.
(We need some more, and more modern, Windows buildfarm members.)
Thanks, pushed with the rename. That'll keep things less confusing going forward at least :)
