;Greg: Responding to Will's mail on krbdev list. [verify_init_creds stuff]

== Source tree housekeeping brainstorm ==

;Will: We're [Oracle / Solaris] resync'ing ours to 1.8. Looking at lots of code carefully. e.g, returning <code>-EINVAL</code> or <code>-ENOMEM</code>

;Greg: In <code>set_realm.c</code> clearly wrong. (Ted may have forgotten he wasn't writing Linux kernel code there -- Linux syscalls return errors that way.) For obvious small stuff, just commit. User-visible, ticket in RT.

;Tom: Build system stuff.

;Greg: <code>aclocal.m4</code> may not be needed. Trimming Makefiles -- 3 lists of same files when building libraries.

;Sam: Might have thoughts about libtool, automake in the future. Concerned that libtool is very constrained.

;Greg: Version map files not quite working. Executable wrappers. Hard to debug.

;Sam: Seriously consider system that takes DLLIMPORT etc for better version lists, etc. (e.g., <code>gss_init_sec_context</code> behavior change (DCE style) forward incompatible)

;Greg: What do other projects do?

;Sam: Starting to be good Linux hygiene.

;Tom: [<code>$(OUTPRE)</code> etc.]

;Greg: Stylistic issues: spaces before parens. Lines more than 79 characters.

;Will: Inconsistent copyright notices.

;Greg: Long functions; worst offenders now in KDC and LDAP driver. Also, automated setup of LDAP server is hard. GSS -- third party tools more comprehensive (gssmonger (MSFT), gsstest (SAP)) Nightly testing -- Ken's stuff, not really automated. Maybe look at buildbot. Coverity defects. ASN.1 decoders to be table driven. Make it easier for plugins to extend ASN.1. Crypto -- PRNG back ends badly misapplying design concepts (both Yarrow and Fortuna). We're not using Yarrow according to its conceptual framework. SVN->Git migration.
