Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: normal Dear mentors and backporters,As with previous releases, I am looking for a sponsor to perform the initial upload of openldap to bullseye-backports since it will be NEW. I am DM for the package and can take care of future uploads myself.
Rationale for backporting: while the client library (libldap) is mature and stable, the OpenLDAP server (slapd) is more actively developed, so advanced slapd users often prefer to run the latest upstream version.
The backport is a simple rebuild, no changes needed.
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/openldap/
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/o/openldap/openldap_2.4.59+dfsg-1~bpo11+1.dsc
The changes since stable are:
openldap (2.4.59+dfsg-1~bpo11+1) bullseye-backports; urgency=medium
.
* Rebuild for bullseye-backports.
.
openldap (2.4.59+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* New upstream release.
* Fix FTBFS with autoconf 2.71 (Closes: #993032):
- Backport upstream changes to support Autoconf 2.69 instead of simply
disabling automake in debian/rules. Fixes FTBFS due to autoreconf
thinking files required by Automake are missing, even though Automake is
not actually used.
- Stop running autoreconf in contrib/ldapc++ since we don't build it.
- Drop custom config.{guess,sub} handling. dh_update_autotools_config does
the right thing for us.
* Update Standards-Version to 4.6.0; no changes required.
* Add a superficial autopkgtest for smbk5pwd.
* Stop disabling test060-mt-hot on ppc64el. The underlying kernel bug
(#866122) is fixed in all relevant suites by now.
Thank you,
Ryan
