I propose that instead of one configure.in file for each subdir (which
is really heinous to deal with, not to mention slow), we break the
krb5 tree into packages, each with a separate configure.in that
generates Makefiles in several directories.
I absolutely agree; this is a good step in the direction of a more
understandable build system.
I don't quite understand how the util directory fits into your list.
Some thing in util (db, ss at least) are needed by the KDC and admin
system; others (pty) are presumably needed by telnet/rlogin. Perhaps
your list is confused because the util directory is itself
confused. :-)
I think a system currently in util that is only used in one place in
Kerberos should be moved to that place. For the rest of the things in
util, I think it is reasonable to "to build any of the other packages
in Kerberos, you must first build the util package."
