Where does one typically acquire the mdb_stat binary for use with openldap? It appears to be part of liblmdb. openldap includes a bundled copy of liblmdb, but does not actually build mdb_stat. Is the intention for distributions to have a separate package for liblmdb, which would include mdb_stat, which one would then install to acquire it (even though the library isn't needed for openldap itself)? I can obviously just compile it myself :), but plan to open a bug with my distribution (Gentoo) to see about making it available, and I'm not sure whether it would be better to compile the one within openldap and install that as part of the openldap package, or create a new package for liblmdb. Given it is still under relatively early development, would it be better to install the bundled one as ol_mdb_stat or something like that, to make sure it corresponds to the version actually used by the installed openldap? What are other distributions doing?
I build out the mdb_* utilities when I build OpenLDAP.
cd openldap-$(LDAP_VERSION)/libraries/liblmdb; make; \ cp mdb_stat $(ZIMBRA_HOME)/openldap-$(LDAP_VERSION)/bin; \ cp mdb_stat.1 $(ZIMBRA_HOME)/openldap-$(LDAP_VERSION)/share/man/man1; \ cp mdb_copy $(ZIMBRA_HOME)/openldap-$(LDAP_VERSION)/bin; \
