I manage a set of packages under the name pWare for AIX 5.3 and 6.1.
I am upgrading the core OpenLDAP from 2.3.38 to 2.4.11 and wanted to do something IBM does with libc. They link libc.a -> libc_r.a
Is it safe to do the same in OpenLDAP such that:
libldap.so -> libldap_r.so
? Then I rebuild any packages that depended on 2.3 for 2.4.
Cheers, Bill

Disclaimer: I do not speak AIX.
The Debian Linux OpenLDAP packages have been doing this since 2.4.7. We've deployed these and not come across any serious problems (said he, about to roll out a 2.4.11 backport...).

I meant "backport" in the Debian sense of building a newer version of a specific package (in this case OpenLDAP) for an older release of the distribution (Etch).

We did. Debian is shipping 2.4.10 in Lenny, but only 2.3.30 in Etch. We want to run 2.4.11 on Etch, at least for the time being.
