I've got the entire Citadel system running smoothly on the latest Debian.
I think the changes we made were all good, but I must have missed something
in the backporting.
So it's in our best interest to get a new release of Citadel published as
soon as possible. I think it's all working properly, but I need someone with
an LDAP system (bennabiy) to give it a good solid testing.
The current git master code synchronizes the entire user list from LDAP,
at startup and every 5 minutes thereafter. It also has the undocumented (we'll
fix that) setting that lets you configure your users' email addresses from
LDAP instead of from Citadel, and this is disabled by default.
It's working with OpenSSL 1.1, libical 2.0, and Berkeley DB 5.x, which are
all shipping with the latest Debian.
In other news, when you look at things like Docker, it seems that the rest
of the world is following
Citadel's lead and simply bringing along the versions of the libraries the
package needs. Because of this, efforts will continue to remove any system
state from anywhere other than /usr/local/citadel/data/ so we can put everything
else in a container, or maybe even a "Really Easy Install" with precompiled
binaries and self-contained libraries.
We've *really* got to get the webcit-ng effort going again.
