Description Leon Bek 2003-07-09 19:50:23 UTC

Isn't it a good idea to provide a openldap-client ebuild which only compiles the
openldap libraries?

This way, not ervery workstation has to compile the slapd and slurpd daemons.

The configure arguments for a "libraries only" openldap are listed in the
"faq-o-matic" on the openldap site (
http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/897.html )

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

how about the idea to split up (or use a USE flag) packages into server & client packages ?

Comment 2 Leon Bek 2003-07-11 17:29:28 UTC

I don't like the idea of adding a useflag for every option you want to pass on during compile time. There are 150 useflags in gentoo and I find managing them (even with ufed) difficult. There are just to manny use flags IMHO.

That is why i requested a separate ebuild just for the client.

(I think my useflag problem will be solved eventualy (per application use-settings for example, or a (debian like) settings menu before building)
