Anybody have a good recent SPEC file for OpenLDAP on RHEL4 that you
wouldn't mind posting?
(This is for building RPMs for anybody who doesn't recognize a SPEC file.)
Thanks,

hmmm, I would expect newer than 2.3.24, maybe he'll chime in on that.
.34 should be a drop-in (might have to remove some patches that have been
upstreamed) though.

FWIW I've built (and am running in production) 2.3.34 using Buchan's
2.3.24 spec as is, out of the box, on RHAS4 by just changing "%define
version 2.3.34" in the spec:
rpmbuild -ba openldap.spec --target i686-linux --without test
Buchan has his own philosophy about running OpenLDAP on RHAS/RHEL
without conflicting with existing Red Hat OpenLDAP stuff, and it is as
well to gen up on that before beginning any build. My experience is that
his design is (almost ;)) perfect.
Also worth pointing out is, that one *has* to get the
/etc/rpm/macros.mdk4rh rpm macros first, as pointed out in the spec
file, or the build will barf before beginning.
Best,

version 2.3.34" in the spec:
I've updated the binaries there to what I'm running in production, (i.e. built
from the SRPM that will ship with Mandriva 2007.1).
rpmbuild -ba openldap.spec --target i686-linux --without test
Yep, building without tests saves a bit of time, but I keep it there by
default so automated builds on the Mandriva cluster don't get uploaded if
they don't pass ...
I now usually skip the tests in most cases, and run them manually on a dev box
(using the new tests subpackage).
Buchan has his own philosophy about running OpenLDAP on RHAS/RHEL
without conflicting with existing Red Hat OpenLDAP stuff, and it is as
well to gen up on that before beginning any build. My experience is that

I think I've fixed your syslog issue ... if I haven't, please send me your
syslo..conf ...
Also worth pointing out is, that one *has* to get the
/etc/rpm/macros.mdk4rh rpm macros first, as pointed out in the spec
file, or the build will barf before beginning.
Maybe it's time to start advocating additional standard macro names
upstream ... the fact that user addition etc. is macro-fied means that I can
actually build some of my Red Hat/Mandriva/Fedora packages on Solaris 9 (just
by writing a new set of compat macros that use the flags in the right order
for various commands).

Buchan

I don't run syslogd on any of my rigs, I run syslog-ng and my problem
wasn't with syslog, but with other things. I've commented out lots in
the 2.3.24 spec and all works perfectly now, I'll send the spec off list.

That would, of course, be perfect.
Baaie dankie ;)

So what sort of problems are you having? There are no doubt others on
this list that run Buchan's rpms on RH systems. It would be good to know
what issues there may be.
Cheers.

So what sort of problems are you having? There are no doubt others on
s/are/were/. I've mentioned problems to Buchan at intervals since I
started using his 2.3 srpms several versions ago and he's always taken
notice and fixed them at the next version's spec (file).
this list that run Buchan's rpms on RH systems. It would be good
to know
what issues there may be.
The issues were generally editing errors on subsidiary config files,
permission errors and providing unwanted cron and logrotate files. The
one he's referring to here edited /etc/syslog.conf to add an entry with
a facility my systems don't use, every time a new rpm was installed.
However, firstly most of these have been fixed and secondly most are
probably specific to my systems. If most people who use Buchan's rpms
haven't found these problems, then they're probably system specific.
However, all rpm packagers (of which I'm one) are dependent on users
reporting errors or unwanted things, but surprisingly few do.

Sorry about that.
Been a bit busy with real work (including upgrading all my production LDAP
servers to 2.3.34 + patches that I built for the next issue) and finalising
packages for Mandriva 2007.1.
I've just uploaded these 2.3.34 packages, and fixed up some tools here to
uploads will be more automated in future.
BTW, I've added 2 new subpackages, testprogs, which includes slapd-search
etc., and tests, which includes the test suite ready-to-run (as non-root if
you set USER_TESTDIR to a local - non-NFS - directory you have write access
to, eg $TMPDIR/openldap-testrun).
OpenLDAP 2.4 packages should be on the way soon ...
Regards,
Buchan

I see the packages, but I don't see an srpm in the SRPM folder..

Yea! But please include the srpm?
