There's an open request (for a long time) for a backport in Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/685748
A backport should address the question of DB format upgrades when going from release to release. The technique currently used, checking the version of the package being upgraded, will fail if a newer package is backported to an older release (with an older DB library) and then upgraded (because it will already be newer than what the version check looks for). I don't have a good idea for addressing that. (Backporting from Utopic to Trusty is probably safe, as long as they have the same libdb version.) Backporting openldap in Ubuntu is time-consuming because the procedure calls for every single reverse dependency to be verified. See for example the list in a previous attempt: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/968612 The LTB project provides deb packages of the most recent sources, built according to upstream's recommendations. If you're currently just building and installing unmodified upstream sources, those might save you some time. http://ltb-project.org/ ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #685748 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=685748 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openldap in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1316124 Title: Actual Ubuntu Slapd totaly useless for "serious" use To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openldap/+bug/1316124/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
