Thank you for your submission. There's already a package named openldap. Please request ACLs. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/bugs/openldap
This package is called openldap24, not openldap :-)
Uhm, I'm sorry, I got distracted by the spec name, which is openldap (above), and should be openldap24.spec (to match the package name).
Quite a few critical blockers I can see: * Packaging to /opt is not allowed. * You are trying to bundle libdb like the old versions of openldap did, but bundling is bad. * This package would interact with the default openldap database directory in /var/lib/ldap via the upgrade scripts. That would inevitably result in a breakage of the RHEL-5 openldap, thus is against the EPEL policies.
Thanks Jan for this initial feedback. So in principle you see no reason for this not to be included as long as the packaging is in good shape?
Well, that is my main concern. I don't know if it's even possible to re-package openldap without affecting the current one in RHEL-5 or not violating any policies or guides. What are you trying to achieve? Do you simply want to have a newer openldap version?
Yes, we would like to run an openldap 2.4 server on RHEL5.
You can try the LTB project: http://ltb-project.org/wiki/. I don't think that there is a saner way to get the latest version to RHEL-5.
This request is not required as we can get what we need from the openldap-servers-overlays package.
