Hi. I need your advice again :) I have LDAP server with ldbm database on a fedora core 5 which is running for more than 3 years without any update nor upgrade neither. So now I've to migate this old LDAP on a new server with new Linux distribution (Debian Lenny). I'm tune up both /etc/ldap/slapd.conf and /var/lib/ldap/DB_CONFIG. But right now I read on a website (http://linagora.org/contrib/annuaires/documentations/openldap_guide_installa...) that backend bdb will disappear. Should I use backend hdb or it doesn't make something different?

Hi Olivier,
we never write that bdb will disappear, but just than it is now better to use hdb. Maybe someone on this list can argue ont this.

As far as I am aware, you are not a member of the OpenLDAP project team, so I am not sure why you write emails that tend to imply that you are. back-hdb was specifically marked as preferred over back-bdb for OpenLDAP 2.4 and it has been noted numerous times now that back-bdb will be removed at some time in the future on a later release series. So the original poster had a very valid question. The answer is to use back-hdb.

If you re-read Clément's mail, he does not claim to be a member of the OpenLDAP team. He just said :
"we never write (implied : on the Linagora's blog) that bdb will disappear..."
Clément is a Linagora's Employee, and he carefully replied that what's on the Linagora's blog can be challenged by people on this list. That was a sane mail, IMO.

Thanks for the clarification. It was not clear to me what the "we" referred to. In this case then if they clarify that back-bdb is what will eventually go away, then the blog is quite correct.

Sorry for the confusion. Of course I was not talking for OpenLDAP team, just for the article writers. We try to provide OpenLDAP documentation for french community, and we are always opened to any feedback on this.
