Hi Clément,

I looked at that one, and I agree it appears to be a bug.  I left it off 
the list for the moment as it also appears to be a very specific edge case 
and I was generally trying to limit it at the moment to more critical 
issues for finishing off 2.4 and focussing on 2.5. ;)


Regards,
Quanah

I'm sometimes trying to push them to coordinate with upstream. Problem is
that SLE customer bugs in https://bugzilla.opensuse.org are most times
locked. (I miss Ralf working on that.)


Ok, thanks for that. ;)


particularly something like 0017-Fix-segfault-in-nops.patch, which it
appears is to address ITS#8759.  Do you know what we need to do on our
end to encourage SuSE to contribute back to the community?


In particular the fight regarding 0017-Fix-segfault-in-nops.patch was
pretty hard. Basically the private e-mail exchange after their OBS
request between Howard Chu and SUSE devs faded out without any clear
result.

To summarize Howard's statements:
In the best case the patch does nothing.

Especially the SUSE customer did not run a clean test environment for
reliably reproducing the issue.


Ah, ok.  Would have been nice if that'd been copied into the ITS system. 
That's a rather important detail to have missing.

You can always lookup who has maintainer role:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/users/network:ldap/openldap2

particularly something like 0017-Fix-segfault-in-nops.patch, which it 
appears is to address ITS#8759.  Do you know what we need to do on our 
end to encourage SuSE to contribute back to the community?

Therefore in my own packages I dropped 0017-Fix-segfault-in-nops.patch:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:stroeder:AE-DIR/openldap2

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:stroeder:openldap/openldap-ms

(The above builds are stripped down even a bit more, e.g. no BDB-based 
backends.)


Ciao, Michael.

SuSE engagement?

Hi Michael,

I'm looking at the patches SuSE applies to OpenLDAP, and it would be nice 
to have some engagement from SuSE on kicking some of these back, 
particularly something like 0017-Fix-segfault-in-nops.patch, which it 
appears is to address ITS#8759.  Do you know what we need to do on our end 
to encourage SuSE to contribute back to the community?
