Woah - no need to take anything personal. We're not all devs. SysAdmin != Code Dev. His memory /could/ be off - that's why he didn't state it as a fact. And there's certainly more civil ways to suggest one checkout code from a deprecated branch.
If feedback isn't desired, simply state so on the mailing list site. Francis even seems like an informed /user/ of the openldap software. Francis: I suggest you simply do a slapcat and then a sed replacement on the output to get what you need. It won't help with cn=config; that'd really have to be done by hand, but I don't think it'd be too difficult.

All of the core overlays support cn=config. You can always pull slurpd from CVS if you enjoy that sort of thing, no one put a gun to your head to force you in any direction. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/ This message is private and confidential.
