I don't see any description in the admin guide about how to convert a *.schema

*.ldif file. Google tells me that most people are using slaptest with the -F
and -f parameters
with a specially crafted slapd.conf file.
As the person who is responsible for a *.schema file and develops it not on a
machine that has
the openldap server software installed, that process is not anything I'm
interested in. Looks
like it should be a fairly simple set of transformations. Looking at the
*.schema and *.ldif
that are provided with the openldap source - I am left wondering how they were
created, since
they have comments, they were obviously not created via the slaptest -F<x>
-f<y> method.
I would like to programatically do this -- my ability to vi two files and make
identical
changes has been known to be fallable!
I found the fusiondirectory-schema2ldif perl script - but it is not complete
and silently drops
keywords it doesn't like which is a really nasty coding style generating
garbage from quality
schemas.
Suggestions? Code examples?
Read schema/openldap.ldif
