Bug 132263 – openldap 2.3.21 does not install optional overlays

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Chris Covington 2006-05-04 09:08:05 UTC]

Hello,

I would like to install the translucent overlay for openldap 2.3.21 but there are no use flags to build the optional overlays located in the source tarball under openldap-2.3.21/servers/slapd/overlays/.  I looked in the source tarball and ran ./configure --help and noted the --enable-translucent option.  I had to manually edit the ebuild and add --enable-translucent.

Is there a better way to do this?

Perhaps all the additional overlays can be added with an overlays USE flag?  To do this compile with --enable-overlays.  Then the end user can activate any overlay that comes with openldap in their slapd.conf.  That way we also wouldn't need a bug filed for each invidual overlay.

Created attachment 86188 [details, diff]
2.3.21 ppolicy patch (openldap ITS#4434)

When compiled with --enable-overlays and USE=test openldap-2.3.21 fails test022-ppolicy.  This patch from CVS HEAD fixes it.

Tested it here and works fine for me -> added as 2.3.21-r1 to cvs.

we have now USE="overlays"

Thanks for providing the patch :)

Chris: Thanks for getting this included.

And an off-topic question for you... Maintaining my patches against current portage is starting to drive me nuts.  Do you have any pointers or portage specific links that would help me setup a RCS (or svn, bzr, etc...) system?

Thanks,
