That is generally not the acceptable stance. In this particular case given the history of the Mozilla LDAP libraries in Solaris going back many more years I think this is even more unacceptable. The risk of having multiple versions of the LDAP libraries dragged into the same process (Samba in this case) is quite high. I strongly encourage the project team to find away so that the Mozilla LDAP 6 library is made common (ie a public taxonomy) for all to use - that doesn't mean supporting it themselves but working with the appropriate groups to do so. If the project can't do that then I feel I have to derail this case given the history of LDAP libraries in Solaris and the fact it has already been stated by RPE (Revenue Product Engineering) that they would rather see the Mozilla LDAP 6 library replace the current (hacked up) Mozilla LDAP 5. Remember that derail does not mean your case is rejected just that it needs a vote and ARC opinion. It may not even need a full review in this case since the issue isn't with the core architecture of Samba but an issue with a dependency. -- Darren J Moffat
