Dear all,
We have a couple of overlays now in contrib ITS:
http://www.openldap.org/its/index.cgi/Contrib?page=3
Are these ever going to be looked at and included in a beta 2.4 release?
Go ahead and look at them ;)
I have! ;-)
Realize that contrib really is not actively supported by the Project. If you say "I built this with RE24 and it seems to work" then I guess we can include it, but someone else will still have to revisit it from time to time to see if it breaks in subsequent updates.
Sure, understood. I was just wondering if we have a procedure/checklist for contributors so that they could prepare their patch or whatever for inclusion.
I think contrib overlays should be standalone, i.e. seperate like everything else in slapd-module with their own README and Makefile:
[ghenry@suretec contrib]$ ls slapd-modules/smbk5pwd/ CVS Makefile README smbk5pwd.c
I'll reply via ITS to the latest contribs that look like they have catered for cn=config etc. and get them to sort out a layout like above.
That sound ok?
If they don't get back to us, they don't get in ;-)
Maybe a wee FAQ item for this later or something on the main site.....
Gavin.
