Hello everyone,
I have been checking out the CVS 2.4 HEAD code after reading this
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200604/msg00181.html
post to the list from Howard Chu. I am interested in High Availability
for OpenLDAP, the mirrormode feature works great and does exactly what
I need it to do. I have tested it pretty thoroughly and would like
to use it in production, however, i cannot do so until it arrives in
the stable tree. Are there any plans or a timeline when this feature
will appear in a stable release? Even a rough estimate would be very
helpful. Thanks a lot for any replies in advance!
What I posted before is all there is to say, really. You can get a
supported version of this feature in the Symas CDS packages. You can
also get the feature in 2.4. If you're using this software in a critical
production environment it is probably wise to get support. 2.4 will go
stable when it's ready; there's no set timeline for that. I consider 2.4
fairly incomplete feature-wise, and I expect that codebase to undergo a
fair bit of upheaval still.
I'm of course confident that this particular feature is usable; we've
tested it heavily and Symas has a number of customers already using it
in production. But I have no expectation of adding it to 2.3 since 2.3
has been feature-frozen for quite a while now, and is in bugfix-only mode.
