Description

This change updates the port's long_description to specify which GSSAPI implementation it is using.

py-gssapi needs a GSSAPI/Kerberos library to build against. On Mac OS X 10.8 and earlier, py-gssapi uses the kerberos5 port. On Mac OS X 10.9 and later, py-gssapi uses the OS-provided GSS Framework.

The specific GSSAPI implementation is useful to know, because a Kerberos credential that is kinit-ed from MIT Kerberos might not be visible to a program that is using macOS' GSS Framework.

Have you

  • followed our Commit Message Guidelines?
  • squashed and minimized your commits?
  • checked that there aren't other open pull requests for the same change?
  • checked your Portfile with port lint?
  • tried existing tests with sudo port test?
  • tried a full install with sudo port -vst install?
  • tested basic functionality of all binary files?
  • checked that the Portfile's most important variants haven't been broken?

This PR only changes the port's long-description, so I did not run the code tests.

This is a harmless enough change, but I think a better one might be to have this always use kerberos5. Would require some minor edits to setup.py.

Thoughts?
