Hi List,
first of, I am no dev, but I was really wondering, why ldap is a default
useflag in the 2008.0 desktop profile, maybe someone could enlighten me?
I am especially wondering, why would the average desktop user want LDAP
but not samba, for CIFS etc. ?
I guess, the ways, of the devs are somewhat mysterious, so, okay, let's
stick stick with the LDAP useflag, no biggy.
What I particularly wonder about: LDAP is a default use flag (in
desktop). Now, openssh got an LDAP useflag, but for ages all ebuilds
drop out, saying one should mask 'em, since ldap doesn't work with the
particular version. What I really don't understand: If the feature is
broken (which I don't know, but assume due to the ebuild message), why
is it, that the flag did not get removed? Is it typical policy to keep
useflags for broken features?
Please don't get me wrong, all I am looking for is some enlightenment in
this case ...
With best Regards
-Sven
P.S.: If I am just stupid or ignorant and missed out on something,
please tell me so.
