More a reminder to self but got this mail today: Return-Path: <albert@achtung.com> Date: Sat, 07 Apr 2007 11:51:15 +0800 From: Albert Yang <albert@achtung.com> To: jokey@gentoo.org Subject: OpenLDAP Portage Hello, I'd like to implement OpenLDAP with a Postgres backend as listed here: http://www.samse.fr/GPL/ldap_pg/HOWTO/index.html But I'd like to do it from portage; as that makes life easier. I see that you are the maintainer for the openldap portage package, and if it is not too much trouble, I was wondering if you can add this into portage. Thanks in advance for the hard work; I know time is not free and would appreciate any effort you put into it. Albert
as the howto says we need pqodbc as dep which is not in-tree atm. postgres people: feel like adding it?
The lib is called psqlODBC :-) Hmm, it will probably introduce circular deps if the following USE-flags are set at the same time: kerberos for dev-db/libpq ldap for heimdal/mit-krb5 Then you get: psqlODBC->libpq->kerberos->openldap->psqlODBC ... and lets hope it doesn't really need the postgresql-source-tree as written in the docs :-)
at least they are still alive and release versions http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/versions/src/
we take care of this once we have the odbc driver ready
