Bug#512360: RFH: openldap -- OpenLDAP server, libraries, and utilities
Package: wnpp Severity: normal The OpenLDAP packaging for Debian could use additional resources. No one on the current OpenLDAP maintenance team has very much time to work on the package, and we're having difficulty keeping up with both the bug queue and with upstream releases and fixes. Given that this is a fairly critical package supplying both the LDAP libraries for many programs in Debian and the LDAP server used by other Debian projects, this is not a good situation. We particularly need help with: * Triaging Debian bugs, filing them upstream where needed, and helping test and incorporate upstream fixes. Upstream is very active and responsive, but expects careful attention to the existing documentation and separation of OpenLDAP bugs from bugs in Debian's build, configuration, or any local modifications. * Triage of TLS issues. For licensing reasons, Debian builds OpenLDAP with GnuTLS instead of OpenSSL, which is unusual in the broader OpenLDAP community. A lot of the open bugs are about TLS interoperability issues, which need to be analyzed and reported against either GnuTLS or upstream if they're problems with OpenLDAP's interface to GnuTLS. GnuTLS upstream is very responsive and good about helping with this if the bug can be reproduced. * Work on slapd configuration and maintenance. Upstream is converting to cn=config (an LDIF configuration backend) and away from slapd.conf and the Debian packages should do likewise. This will require extensive testing during the squeeze release cycle. * Testing, particularly of the server. Help from someone who runs the Debian slapd packages in production with a fairly large directory, or who can do so at least for testing, would be very welcome. The upstream OpenLDAP team has had many bad experiences with distribution packagers doing a poor job of supporting OpenLDAP packages and the OpenLDAP project doesn't support old versions of OpenLDAP, so it's important to carefully distinguish between Debian problems (including those related to having an old version in stable) and upstream OpenLDAP problems. Having a thick skin and a willingness to work through conflicts is very helpful. OpenLDAP is maintained via an Alioth Subversion repository and mailing list. If you're willing to help, please join the mailing list via: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-openldap-devel and let us know what you can work on.

Bug#471801: for would-be maintainers/adopters
Since I keep getting inquiries about taking this package over, with no one actually ending up doing anything, let me summarize what I have told people so far: * How can you help? -- Triage bugs, submit patches, respond to user inquiries, and so on. The usual stuff. I don't have a secret to-do list. Use the BTS. * The packaging is in the collab-maint subversion repository. If you have something to commit, please do so. If you are not sure, attach your patch to a bug or check with me first. * In recent times, the packaging has been very stable. The main work is integrating new upstream releases and the occasional CVE. Note that historically many upstream releases of egroupware have been buggy and have often been replaced by a fixup release a week later. :-/ So it is wise to exercise some patience before jumping on a new release. * Consequently, this is probably not a good package for some new contributor to adapt just to be able to play around with packaging. The *packaging* work consists mainly of downloading a new tarball, building a package, and uploading it. The *maintenance* work consists of triaging bugs and interacting with users and upstream maintainers. * So, if you want to maintain this package, start by going through the bug list, create patches, commit patches. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Try contacting upstream and ask them to remove debian/ from the sources. This is not sufficient reason for repackaging sources. diff.gz will be clean enough.
