I'm in the midst of an avalanche of re-emerging packages, occasioned in part by an update to the LDAP libraries. I don't completely understand that because I never turned on the LDAP USE-flag, but maybe some things just need it.
However, I'm annoyed that apache would not build because, it said, dev-libs/apr-util did not have LDAP support. DUH! Nothing new here. I hadn't changed my mind about LDAP, so why all of a sudden apache is getting touchy about LDAP? I explicitly set apache to -ldap in packages.use, and it compiled okay. B ut I'm starting to wonder if that was sensible. I only vaguely understand that LDAP has to do with "directory" searches, but I don't know why I should care about that in general, or about it in reference to apache. So what do I need to know about this? ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
