Hi Davor, I believe you'll need to complete the attribution bit detailed here: <http://www.openldap.org/devel/contributing.html> for this to be included. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Senior Systems Software Developer ITS/Shared Application Services Stanford University GnuPG Public Key: http://www.stanford.edu/~quanah/pgp.html
Hi, If you are interested in getting this in to a 2.4 beta, please change it's format to be like other contrib modules currently in HEAD: contrib/slapd-modules/ Thanks, Gavin.

The contrib section does not have usable makefiles (nor the system to create them). Putting this overlay in contrib, where it would be unmaintained and practically broken right away from the start (due to missing build integration) doesn't make any sense. People interested in the overlay are able to download it from the maintained location at: http://techpubs.spinlocksolutions.com/openldap/ Davor Ocelic Spinlock Solutions http://www.spinlocksolutions.com/

It makes sense: if we integrate it in the mainstream source and it breaks because it's unmaintained, then the distribution is broken > People interested in the overlay are able to download it from > the maintained location at: > > http://techpubs.spinlocksolutions.com/openldap/ Well, in that case you have to guarantee that the URL remains valid over time. If you put it in contrib/ the OpenLDAP project guarantees (sort of) it remains available. To the average potential user, I guess it's the same level of guarantee :) p. Ing.
