The thing to consider is that not every user wants every feature that is currently present in the config space. As well, it’s not a significant amount of code to maintain, yet changes in the upstream require little updates all the time. It doesn’t hurt, and in the distributed cases, it’s very useful.

Finally, when there is a more standardized distribution, it can address a number of other problems that are being resolved by other means. A consistent way to share the same templates and such across 10 servers would be pretty cool.

I think, though, this patch would need to be addressed to help avoid restarts of the server — that seems to reset some clocks and states. I’ve got some ideas about that, but I’d like to see this fly first.

I kinda figured that upstream wouldnt really be too interested. if its not a feature people want, it just adds more code to maintain.

I’ll keep checking back for a 64bit RPM or .deb (or I’ll just make my own.)

thanks

Hey, thanks man. Sometimes, my gospel has merit, but even a stopped-clock shows the correct time twice daily…

You told me this years ago. I ignored you because build-in-place is awesome. Then one day I found myself responsible for 200 OS installs on the same architecture.

Now I use RPM.

Hi. Upstream acceptance requires user-demand-pull. Bear with me a sec:

I still have to create a Debian build; I’m sorry, I’ve been traveling (http://travel.chickenandporn.com/) and spending too much time on checkins, checkouts, of an airlines/air-travel nature than of a CVS/SVN nature

Sebastien has been looking into this; as well, I lost the ID of someone else interested in incorporating into his product (my last blogsite died in an embarassing and permanent way).

Upstream once replied “make it a module”, showing how they didn’t understand how invasive the config has to be to pick up the LDAP portion, while I did not want to mimick the updates to the upstream by copying out the existing code and copying all patches from upstream to the module.

So… it’s only by user-demand that this can be pulled into upstream. Long response to a short question, but perhaps you skimmed

do you know if upstream has any intention of including this functionality? I really hate breaking from standard repository packages (Debian in this case) and have yet to set up my own repo.

Hey cool – glad you it made you happy, and thanks for suggesting the changes to make it autoconf under 2.59.
