1. I noticed that version 5 requires certain libraries (such
as -lkrb) from version 4. Will the final release of
version 5 be completely independent from version 4 (i.e.
the version 4 routines ported into the existing version
5 libraries)?
Well, you only require -lkrb from version 4 if you want the backwards
compatibility features of V4 turned on. If you don't need that, you
don't need those libraries. I may look into seeing how much effort
would be required to merge in the required v4 routines into the V5 KDC
sources, but quite frankly it's not a very high priority at the moment.
2. Do you have any notion of when a final (non-beta) release of
version 5 will be available? If possible, could you give me
a time frame (i.e. days, weeks, months)?
Sorry, at this point, I don't. Much will depend on our experience as we
(and other people, like you) use the distribution and find problems or
suggest enhancements.
Thanks for your bug reports! I will make sure those get fixed for the
next release.
