Package: gforge-ldap-openldap
Version: 3.1-31
Severity: wishlist

I wouldn't regard this as a bug in gforge; it is more of a support issue, but
I was not sure of how else an answer may be found on this.

At some point in time, my host's main OpenLDAP database became corrupted.
The directory on the database has been used only by GForge, and so, the
problem has not resulted in an interruption of other services, but it
results in that I cannot upgrade the GForge ldap package, and a package
dependant on it, and I cannot use any of the GForge web services.

While I haven't checked on it, but I'm under the assumption that the SQL
records maintained by the GForge services are still intact.


My question is, basically: Is there an existing, plausible way to
re-initialize the LDAP directory used by GForge, as on the contents of the
SQL database used by GForge? I realize that some scripting between an SQL
client and an LDAP client may be operable for such; I am not sure if there
may be any existing work, in that regard.

Apart from the above, I hope to ask another question about GForge on Debian.
I wonder if you would be aware of how there would be determined any
information about the availability and, along with the GForge debian
packages, a reasonable means for installation of the SOAP or
command-line-interface plugins supposed to be available for GForge? My
impression is that either of those plugins may be of use for integration of
clients with GForge, and may be of help for ensuring compatability across
systematically different project hosts. (I am not aware of how mature the
codebases for the plugins may be, in either situation.)

Thank you.
