Note that this feature was already documented in the existing slapd/slapadd/slap* manpages in 2.3. It's a shame that we go to the trouble of writing these docs that nobody actually reads.
And it's a sad that project leaders immediatly assume users are just unwilling to read the docs, rather than wondering if the docs need improvement.
I just discovered why my slapd -f slapd.conf -F slapd.d attempt failed: permissions on the slapd.d directory were wrong, so slapd just start and quits without a message, leaving an empty directory.
I suspect I did not had the idea to check the logs because I was just expecting it to do the conversion in the foreground and exit. Obviously a wrong expectation.
