Async work

Nathaniel
libverto mostly working. KDC main loop in libverto. Patch to list for comments next week. Effect on preauth plugin architecture?
Greg
We have freedom to change the API for 1.10.
Nathaniel
Pass a callback to finish. Timeout? 1 second frequency? Client timeout behavior?
Greg
People working on SSSD should look at gic_step. Client should "stick" to a KDC. Probably ok for client time out explicitly configured on the client.
Greg
There's a tiny chance that your KDC went down between the preauth_required and the later requests.
Nathaniel
Client retransmits, requests outstanding?
Greg
Working on credential selection currently. Hope to have revision to preauth stuff soon.
Tom
Patches?
Nathaniel
not public yet. Will be on GitHub in next few days. Mailing list question on krbdev on glib: signals not all supported, e.g. not USR1, USR2. Needs a patch to glib.
Tom
Inclusion in glib release?
Nathaniel
Next release of glib. Earlier releases didn't support signals.
Nathaniel
Would love GCD code.
Tom
Hopefully will have time to do that soon.
Greg
Heimdal has some GCD code.

Documentation

Zhanna
Some manpages to be generated from Sphinx. Checked in some stuff... kinit, kdestroy, klist.
Tom
Do you need to build entire tree?
Zhanna
It visits everything, but only builds manpages.
Tom
Details? ... Output looks like it requires GNU extensions to nroff. Probably a showstopper for people who are using non-GNU OSes. Will ask lists.
