From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: I was very exited that the beta contained openldap 2.1.x, and was extremely disappointed to see it withdrawn from Red hat 8.0. Since we use LDAP to authenticate thousands of computer accounts in my Institute, I wanted to use the features of 2.1.5. Okay, I can compile and install it, but pelase tell me---why did you withdraw it? Is there an instability that I should know about? The mailing list is silent on this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.0.25 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.List files in my downloaded RH 8.0 with exitement and quivering anticipation :-) 2.See that OpenLDAP 2.1.x has been withdrawn from the distribution, and replaced by the old 2.0.25 :-| 3.Sit down, very disappointed. :-( Actual Results: I opened a beer and felt better. Expected Results: I should have seen openldap-2.1.5 Additional info: I need to know what bugs caused you to withdraw it; do they still remain? Are there workarounds?
I'm interested in this as well.
Check the openldap-software@openldap.org mailinglist for an announcement of uofficial rpms. I haven't tested them. Tarjei
There were indexing bugs which have since been fixed in the 2.1 series. We'll look at 2.1 again for the next release.
