For compatibility and migration support, we've kept the old OpenLDAP 2.3.x ebuilds in the tree for nearly 5 years.
OpenLDAP-2.4.x first went to stable 2009/11/04. package.mask has blocked <net-nds/openldap-2.4.35 since 2014/03/20. I think the time has come to fully remove 2.3.x series, and the older masked 2.4.x builds, so I strongly encourage everybody to move. The ebuild includes upgrade instructions, as in most major version upgrades you need to dump+restore the database (both OpenLDAP major versions, as well as changing backends or sys-lib/db major versions). Since it's been in package.mask for 6 months without reported bugs complaining about this, I'm not going to announce it via a news item unless there are strong demands to. -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Developer, Infrastructure Lead E-Mail : robb...@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11ACBA4F 4778E3F6 E4EDF38E B27B944E 34884E85
