The OpenLDAP project has declared OpenLDAP 2.2 as their stable branch:
<http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-announce/200406/msg00003.html>
I will follow this by changing the default in bsd.port.mk to
WANT_OPENLDAP_VER=22
on Friday, the 16th of July 2004
What does this mean for you?
- port maintainers should test their ports by specifying
WANT_OPENLDAP_VER=22 on the command line when building there ports
- users and package building cluster can prepare for the switch by
setting WANT_OPENLDAP_VER=22 in make.conf(5) or pkgtools.conf(5)
- users or production systems that don't want to follow the version
switch can specify WANT_OPENLDAP_VER=21 in make.conf(5) or
pkgtools.conf(5). The OpenLDAP 2.1 ports are expected to be around for
some while, a deprecation date hasn't been set.
Thanks
-Oliver
