I've upgrade python-ldap in Rawhide to 2.3, but I'm a little hesitant about bumping the version in a stable distro like Fedora 7. Are there API changes between 2.2.0 and 2.3 that may break applications?
Thanks for the swift response. I compared the differences between output of pydoc python-ldap-2.2.0 and python-ldap-2.3. There is API addition but it seems to there is no API changes.
Thanks for looking into it. That seems pretty safe, and according to repoquery only sabayon and luma use python-ldap. I'll submit an update for Fedora 7 and see if anyone objects.
python-ldap-2.3-1.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
