hi
i want to know in general what the caveats are when replicating ldap data with slurpd between openldap servers of different major versions. i would be especially interested in knowing if it is adviseable to replicate from a 2.3 master to 2.2 slaves (or the other way round). the reason for asking this is that i have noticed that in the present setup replication from 2.0 to 2.2 produces .rej files which are 10 times bigger than those resulting from "same generation" (2.0 <-> 2.0) replication. or are there any special configuration options for this situation?
thanks for help matthias

I had good luck using a 2.3 master to a 2.1 slave, so 2.3 -> 2.2 should work fine.

2.3 to 2.2, and then switch to sync-repl as quick as you can (as you're really wasting your time with chasing slurpd problems sync-repl avoids).
Are you replicating multiple databases ? This can result in additional headaches with slurpd on 2.3 ... and you may actually prefer to migrate to sync-repl with proxying to the slaves (to expedite dumping slurpd).

Works fine. Doing this in production (2.3 hidden master to production 2.2 servers).
(or the other way round).
That I haven't tested...
