You are great, man! :) Debian could use more users of that kind!! Thanks
a lot for your patch. I have to tell you, though, that we duplicated
some work since I did OpenLDAP 2.2 packages as well yesterday. I already
uploaded to experimental with some known issues open.

Hmm, I named it libldap2.2 but libldap2.2-7 makes sense given the
soname. Not sure how upstream handles this, I'd like to have libldap2.2
and have that binary compatible will all older clients. Do you know
better by chance?

I guess I'll take that change and apply it to the Debian packages. I'd
rather call it /usr/share/libldap2.2/ucdata so it is easier to associate
to the package.

Did you compare the configuration options of libldap2 and libldap2.2? In
the long term libldap2 will get replaced but so long I think your
solution is the best. The current packages overwrite each other in that
regard as well.

I don't really like that but that's the option I was about to take as
well.

Hmm, did not notice that part - I just merged the new upstream in
subversion :)

Don't think so. In the end there will be one libldap package and one
config file. For some time we will have libldap2.2 as well but I don't
think it makes much sense to go down that path for just two files with
no benefits apart from saving the libldap2 dependency while anybody will
have that library installed anyway.

Don't start on that one. We are working on reimplementing GnuTLS support
from scratch against current upstream CVS to get it in the official
OpenLDAP distribution as well. Of course we could use some help on that
front!

That's already done in my packages.

Think so.

Already done, but it's stuck in the NEW directory and waiting for manual
approval.
