Full_Name: Emmanuel Dreyfus Version: HEAD OS: NetBSD-4.0 URL: http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/~checkout~/pkgsrc/databases/openldap/patches/patch-ad?rev=1.7 Submission from: (NULL) (213.41.141.172) NetBSD's pkgsrc has a 5 years old OpenLDAP patch that address a build problem on sparc64 with gcc 3.x (x <= 3). The build failure is caused by a bug in gcc. I think it would not hurt to commit this patch in OpenLDAP CVS: everything is guarded by macros, so it cannot cause any harm to unaffected systems, and the workaround has been tested by NetBSD people for 5 years.

Kurt will probably have something to say about this too - this is more than a couple-line patch, it needs to be submitted by its original author, with appropriate rights attributions etc. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/

Instead, autoconf should be used to detect conditions for need to be adapted for. On an IPR review, I suspect it would be easier to update to: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/lib/libc/hash/sha1.c?rev=1.21;content-type=text%2Fplain then to try to identify the contributors and get their "okay". -- Kurt

Do we need anything more than an e-mail with the patch and the excerpt below correctly filled? "This patch file is derived from OpenLDAP Software.

I should note that, from a technical point of view, it might also be better to integrate the latest from OpenBSD. This would hopefully provide a SHA1 implementation which works on more platforms than the current version, or the current version as modified by Klaus's patch. -- Kurt
