From asmoore at blastwave.org Sun Dec 4 19:45:11 2005 From: asmoore at blastwave.org (Alex Moore) Date: Sun, 4 Dec 2005 12:45:11 -0600 Subject: [csw-announce] Openldap 2.3.12 package release Message-ID: <20051204124511.00007980@sws602> Openldap packages are updated to 2.3.12, which is a big jump from the older 2.1.30 CSW packages. If you are not running the slapd/slurpd daemons, then the rest of this message may not be of interest. If you are running the daemons, you must unload your data before installing the new packages and reload after installing the new packages. I have a very simple setup, but I used slapcat and slapadd and everything went smooth and fast. Later today, I will post 'quick notes' text of what I found while upgrading on the 'View news and info' button at http://www.blastwave.org/packages/CSWodlap Please let me know you have notes that would benefit the community and I can post them as well. You are making backups, correct? If you need the older 2.1.30 packages, for some reason, I have copied those packages to /testing - http://www.blastwave.org/testing for download and manual installation. Hopefully, you will not need these older packages and everything will go smoothly:> I have also heard that syntax on aci definitions may have changed. So be sure to test any aci definitions. In the future, you will normally see the openldap packages updated when a new 'stable' release is identified at www.openldap.org. If you want the very latest, or a version close to the latest, check the /testing site. I plan to make the latest version available, when I have the time. There should be no need to ask for updates. Keep in mind that updating openldap does take a bit of time to package and test. If you are using some patches that you think would benefit others, please submit them to me and I will do what I can.

The preremove script is bad. There is an update on the way to the mirrors, starting this evening, that fixes the preremove script problem plus a bugreport fix for the sparc package when you try to access your berkeleydb4 database (if you actually use one). The new version is 8.13.5,REV=2005.12.14 Two options on the preremove: 1) The simplest but with the most risk: Before running pkg-get to update sendmail, make sure that you run `/etc/init.d/cswsendmail stop` or whatever you are using to stop sendmail. This worked fine with the 8.13.5 package installed on my tests. However, you MUST remember to do this. Well, if you forget, it is no big deal. Just control+c the hung install and follow step 2) below. 2) The safest and sure-fire method: With wget or your preference, download http://www.blastwave.org/testing/sendmail-preremove to /var/sadm/pkg/CSWsendmail/install/preremove Note the file name change. DO THIS NOW if you can.
