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.

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.
