Yes. > Debian 5, RHEL/CentOS 5 ships OpenLDAP-2.3.x. Well, python-ldap 2.3.x will still be around. So if you're using this distros you have to stick with python-ldap 2.3.x which IMHO is sufficient to run the applications implemented on top of python-ldap so far. Applications requiring new features will need new python-ldap and therefore newer OpenLDAP libs. This is a common practice. > I don't think it's a good strategy to force sys admin to compile/install > openldap-2.4 on production server, if they want to update openldap, they > have to compile again and again. Well, as said: If you don't want to compile on systems you won't install new python-ldap 2.4 anyway on these old systems.
