You have several recommended options: - dump your database, uninstall, install the unFLAVORed version and restore your database. - stick with what you are already using and wait for OpenLDAP 2.4 to become stable and get added to ports. dump/upgrade/restore. another which is less-recommended: - dump your database, uninstall, build your own OpenLDAP 2.4 (it is not in ports yet), restore your database. moving to a 2.4 version when it hits ports will involve some extra work removing the installed files which will conflict. and another which seems like a really bad idea to me: - dump your database, uninstall DB/OpenLDAP, build your own DB <=4.6.2 and OpenLDAP 2.3, restore. I think this is likely to cause all sorts of confusion with anything else using DB on the box. > [1] http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/databases/openldap/Makefile we discussed things and took the path which means pkg_add updates don't break an existing working -bdb installation.
