CUPS in ports (e.g., v1.4.3) --disable-gssapi WHY??

[William Bulley]

I recall building CUPS from ports last Fall (9/2009) at version 1.3.10
or 1.3.11 which had GSSAPI (Kerberos 5) support as an option.

Today, the cups-base-1.4.3 port specifically excludes GSSAPI support
(--disable-gssapi in the Makefile) which means CUPS cannot perform
Kerberos authentication (to get a ticket granting ticket for printing).

Why is this the case?  Can someone elaborate on this, or point me to
the correct forum to get an answer?  Thanks in advance.

Regards,
