 Hey folks,

 I would really like to install Git on Mac OS X 10.4. Everything works fine
 until it tries to install kerberos5 at which point it fails.

 There's been some discussion about this [[ticket:46701|here]] but it
 doesn't seem to be resolved.

 I'm not using Kerberos for my Git installation so I (naively) think I can
 just skip this step and see if the rest of the build works.

 Is there any way to skip a pre-requisite package? If so, how can I alter
 this command?

 Any help would be very much appreciated. I bought an old cube as a single-
 purpose writing machine and having Git is pretty important. Yes, I realize
 this OS is ancient and won't cry if it just can't be done.

Comment:

 Replying to [comment:2 larryv]:
 > That said, `git` does not have `kerberos5` as a dependency.

 Never mind, spoke too hastily. `git` does depend on `p5.24-authen-sasl`,
 which depends on `p5.24-gssapi`, which depends on `kerberos`.

 This is not really about `git`, it’s about `kerberos5`. Since that is the
 core problem, you should should ping #46701 and try to get that resolved.
 That ticket seems to have a patch that just has not been applied.
