Re: Antw: Re: Question on replication files.

Not to beat a dead horse and not to bash on Debian (personally Debian is the only distro I use), but to further help other people make a decision as to which version they should/may want to install: the slapd package included with Debian or the latest version from source:

The Debian community is fully aware of the numerous issues with their OpenLDAP package and acknowledges that it needs work, they have also been asking for help with OpenLDAP for some time (1878 days according to their "work-needing packages" list):

openldap (#512360), requested 1878 days ago
     Description: OpenLDAP server, libraries, and utilities
     Reverse Depends: 389-admin 389-ds-base 389-ds-base-dev
       389-ds-base-libs 389-dsgw adcli alpine am-utils aolserver4-nsldap
       apache2-bin (200 more omitted)
     Installations reported by Popcon: 163954

As the entry specifies bug #512360 in the BTS gives additional information about what work is needed: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=512360

Thanks,

Josh

What has A to do with B, and how can you conclude C from A or B?

B obviously has to do with A. A qualified maintainer would maintain some presence with the upstream project.

C you can conclude from years of interacting with the Debian project, like I have.
