Subject: RFA: openldap2.2 -- OpenLDAP server (slapd)

Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2005 22:51:20 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Hey Maintainers!

I am very sorry but I'll have to give away maintainership of OpenLDAP as
currently I can't devote the time which is needed to maintaining it. I 
know this is really late and I regret not doing this step earlier. 


The package description is:
 This is the OpenLDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) standalone
 server (slapd). The server can be used to provide a standalone directory
 service and also includes the slurpd replication server.

OpenLDAP is not an easy package. It's big and it has a track record of 
breaking backward compatibility for new releases. I made a number of 
mistakes in maintaining it and I'd like to help as far as I can. There
are new upstream versions available which I started to package with the
goal of making maintaining easier but it's still not ready to even be 
uploaded to experimental. 

I am sorry for letting my Debian involvement languish but I hope there 
will be better days in the future. I'll try to keep maintaining my easy
packages but this is just to hefty at this time.

Friendly

	Torsten

I can't adopt this myself, but I'm willing to be part of a maintenance
team.  I think this would be a very good package to team-maintain, since
as you say it's large and complex and it's also a dependency of quite a
lot of software.

Hi,

I'm willing to maintain this package, and sure this is a complex package
and I really want to do that in team maintainence.

Is there svn repository and or mailinglist for this package ?

Regards,

Matthijs Mohlmann

Hi,

As I am not yet a developer (doesn't take that long anymore) and as I
have pretty much experience with ldap, I think I can take this over. So
I retitled the bug to ITA.

Are you willing to sponsor uploads if there is no DD in the maintainer
team ?

Last question about this: What about openldap 2.1.30 ?

Can you add me to the svn repository ?

Regards,

Matthijs Mohlmann

Yep, that's right. I think the team could use quite a few persons :)

I see the SVN repository now, but is there a mailing list?  It seems like
one would be worthwhile.

I can sponsor uploads, although it would be good to have multiple people
who are capable of doing that in case one of us gets busy.  I work with
one of the OpenLDAP core team members, and I'm going to try to get him
involved in the package maintenance as well.

I could do uploads as well for the time being.

Subject: Bug#340349: fixed

Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2006 15:09:48 -0700

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:

libldap-2.2-7 |   2.2.26-5 | alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
libldap-2.2-7 | 2.2.26-5.0.1 | m68k
openldap2.2 |   2.2.26-5 | source

Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it).  Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive (ftp-master.debian.org) and will not propagate to any
mirrors (ftp.debian.org included) until the next cron.daily run at the
earliest.

Packages are never removed from testing by hand.  Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems.

Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically
removed from the Bug Tracking System.  Please check all open bugs and
close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package
was superseded by another one.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 340349@bugs.debian.org.

This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
ftpmaster@debian.org.
