Hi all,
We'd like to contribute a binary distribution package for Cyrus SASL
2.1.23 and 2.1.24rc1 and we were told to post a message on this list. We
have noticed that there is no link on the below page to download an
installer:
http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/docs/cyrus-sasl/2.1.23/windows.php
The proposed distribution supports the following mechanisms:
a) ANONYMOUS
b) CRAM-MD5
c) DIGEST-MD5
d) GSSAPI
e) LOGIN
f) NTLM
g) OTP
h) PLAIN
i) SRP
We are committed to long term support and keeping the packages updated.
Thanks in advance.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Hi Sergio,
Please allow me to apologize. When you initially contacted me
off-list, you probably told me you were interested in providing a
binary distribution and I probably missed that. When I saw that you
were suggesting to add a link to the
docs/cyrus-sasl/2.1.23/windows.php page, I mentioned to you that these
pages aren't part of the mediawiki installation, but rather they're
generated from the /docs directory of the cyrus-sasl download
tarball. That's why I then suggested you send a documentation patch
to the cyrus-sasl list.
Now that I finally understand what you're offering, hopefully I can
get this resolved.
I think it might make more sense to put your link at
http://www.cyrussasl.org/mediawiki/index.php/Downloads#SASL_Library
since that's where folks looking to download Cyrus SASL would be
looking. If you agree, you already have a MediaWiki account that
would allow you to add the link there now.
I see that you subscribed to the cyrus-sasl mailing list, and I would
like to see you remain subscribed such that you may answer any
questions about your distribution.
Finally, I also cc'd Alexey Melnikov, Dan White and Ken Murchison on
this message. They're the folks who probably care the most about
Cyrus SASL at this point. From my perspective, I want to get as many
folks on board to assist with Project Cyrus as possible and I welcome
your contribution. I wanted to make sure nobody else has any issues
with you providing a binary distro, though. Anyone? Do you guys
agree with where to put the download link? Should we host the binary
distro files somewhere on cyrussasl.org, or is an external link
sufficient?
I think an external link is sufficient for now. (and I am glad that
Sergio is offering to help.) I would like to know a bit more about how
the packages are built on Windows, considering that there is a
dependency on OpenSSL, SleepyCat, Kerberos V5, etc. I.e. which versions
of third party libraries were used and how such libraries were built.
Thanks!
Dave
