Hi there,

I would like to inform the OpenLDAP community that, after a few months
sorting out the details, the OpenLDAP package of the Ubuntu Jammy (LTS)
release will now receive updates every time there's a new patch version
released for the 2.5.x upstream series.

In fact, if you are using Ubuntu Jammy you can start benefiting from
this new policy right away: OpenLDAP 2.5.12 has just been accepted into
the jammy-updates repository and should be available soon.

I'd like to thank the community for changing your release process
recently and electing 2.5.x as your LTS release; this really helped me
making the case to obtain a Micro Release Exception from the Ubuntu SRU
team :-).

If I may, I would also like to make a small request here.  It would be
very helpful if the OpenLDAP website could also offer the "Release
Documents" section (from https://openldap.org/software/) for OpenLDAP
2.5.x as well.  Actually, it would also be great if the "Announcement"
page could stay available "forever", and be made per-release (instead of
having just one "announce.html" page that gets overwritten every time
there's a new release).  I don't know much about web stuff in general,
but I can help with this if needed.

Thank you very much, and I hope this email brings news to the Ubuntu
OpenLDAP users out there.

Cheers,

--
