Yes, of course it is still active... we have some issues open right now and we
have delayed the new release due to these problems. We should come out with a
new
release by the first days of the next month, I hope...

As you can probably have seen the project has been re-organized in a object
oriented
structure. New modules have been issued to manage X509/Misc objects and to
relief the
main RAServer/CA from repetitive coding having them more "readable" and
programmers-
friendly.

To compile the Net::LDAPApi module you need to have OpenLDAP (1.2 - not the 2.x
versions)
installed and then it should compile fine. We currently have dropped the
Net-LDAPApi
support in favour of the perl-ldap module because of problems with installation.

Of course, as I can see you could be one "tester" letting developers know where
major
installation/usage bugs are or improvements are needed...
Let us know.
