Sometimes I do on my openSUSE-based Æ-DIR test systems based on branches of
my packages in OBS. But it's additional work for which I don't always have
spare time left.
Hi Michael,
thanks, even that's appreciated.
Do you have any particular things in mind that need more thorough
testing
before 2.6.2 is released?
It was a general question. While it's nice that people run "make test" and
sometimes "make its", it would be even nicer if we got regular feedback
from actual test environments. If we got people to publish any metrics
they gather (performance or otherwise), we could even track the
evolution of the software in a real world setting, I know I'm not asking
for much ;)

IMHO most people are not going to test in real environments before the
OpenLDAP project cuts a release, no matter how long this testing period is.
That has been a hypothesis for a while and this is an attempt to
challenge it, just in case :)
Thanks,
