Well its finally done. After getting Robins permission to help him maintain openldap and with the help of Markus Ullmann I have just commited openldap 2.3 to the tree, although it is hardmasked until Robin and I are happy with it. A lot of things have changed in this version ( changelog<\/a>) with notable upgrades to syncrepl and the ability to change a lot of the settings of the server itself on the fly as instead of reading it from an external configuration file it is now in the DIT itself. I recommend anyone using openldap to give it a shot and let us know if you come across any problems. One thing that will be of interest to those people who have been bitten by openldap upgrades in the past is that this time around we have set it up so that the openldap 2.3 ebuild will install not only all the relevant openldap 2.3 files but also the libraries from openldap 2.1 and 2.2. While this adds a little to the compilation time, we feel that it will mean less upgrade problems and allow people to rebuild their applications to link to the newer libraries (which unfortunately arn’t backwards compatible) at their leisure, thus avoiding breaking your pam authentication while you’re waiting for all the linked packages to rebuild. In the process we have also closed about 6 bugs for openldap 2.1 and 2.2 so i’d appreciate any and all testing done on the new ~ARCH versions of those.
\nI’ve filed a bug to get cryptsetup stabilized in its latest form, but I’m also considering whether or not it should just be pulled, as although it is becoming a standard for cryptographic related things, it is completely superceded by cryptsetup-luks and I don’t believe that cryptsetup is currently maintained, whereas cryptsetup-luks is actively maintained and a full drop in replacement. I’ll spend some time thinking about this and let people know via the normal channels.
\nKolab is still not going anywhere, I’ve been waiting for the 2.1 release which is meant to make packaging it a lot more feasible, but it seems to have slipped past its timelines for that so I’m just going to continue to wait. Fortunately when it does come out I have offers of help from Gunnar and seemant to help me get it into the tree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
