Subject: [PATCH 0/3] gnu: heimdal: Drop obsolete user tools.
Date: Tue, 16 May 2023 21:19:39 -0700

This patch stops Guix from shipping user tools that, according to two Heimdal
maintainers have been obsolete for over five years.

While mostly harmless, those tools shadowed legitimate tools like 'su' from
core-utils. [1]

Felix Lechner (3):
  gnu: heimdal: Build from Git.
  gnu: heimdal: Drop obsolete and insecure user tools.
  gnu: heimdal: Re-indent code; no functional change.
