Description Daniel 2007-03-31 18:41:57 UTC
There is ldap-support (experimental) for cyrus-imapd (2.2.x) available.

"configure --help" reports:
 --with-ldap=DIR         use LDAP (in DIR) (experimental) /usr/local

I would be very happy if there is any possibility to translate the USE-flag "ldap", into "--with-ldap=/usr" within the ebuild, to test the ldap-support.

If you don't like to use the common (global) USE-flag because of the "experimental" status of cyrus-imapd's ldap-support, is there a chance to introduce a cyrus-imapd local use-flag for example "ldap-exp"?

Many thanks in advance!

Daniel

Reproducible: Always

This patch offers USE-flags to enable cyrus-imapd's experimental ldap support:

introduced local USE-flags:
"ldap-exp" "ldap-pts-exp" and "auth-krb5"

perhaps the global USE-flag "ldap" can replace "ldap-exp/pts-exp" in the future?!
Comment 2 Tobias Scherbaum (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-02 18:54:27 UTC
This is still tagged as "experimental" in upstream cyrus-2.3. Therefore I personally don't see a need to add this USE flag, closing this one as WONTFIX. If you disagree please provide additional information on the current state of ldap-support in cyrus-2.3 and reopen this bug.
