Hi, I have not been paying attention to these changes since Ando was working on them. You'll have to ask him for their update status.
Since you've already posted a query to the ITS, I think that would be the appropriate place to continue the conversation.
Looking over the ITS just now, I would say the tweak to register the changelog overlay type is unnecessary. Nor can you fairly deprecate the LogStyle parameter, since that appears to be the only way to invoke the SunOne workaround.
All in all I understand your motivations for pursuing this feature. Despite my dislike for broken specs and broken code, I will not prevent this patch from going in. But you should realize that wrong is wrong, and just because Novell, Sun, and Oracle software is broken doesn't mean we should be broken too. There are other IdM packages out there.

Hi,
I submitted a patch to update the old overlay of Neil Dunbar to OpenLDAP 2.3. It works for our identity management (using Novell IDM 3.01) - see ITS#4685. As my patch needs cleanup to get into OpenLDAP HEAD I would like to ask, wether the patch to your accesslog that offers changelog functionality (ITS#4656) is likely to be committed to CVS HEAD in the near future. In this case I won't maintain a separate overlay. Thanks in advance for a quick reply, we really need changelog functionality as Novell, Sun and Oracle seem to depend on it.
