non debian source (openldap)
I am trying to install openldap-2.3.17(stable) because I need some
features (smbk5passwd) which are not present in debian stable or
testing packages. It builds fine on sarge, but I am concerned about
future upgrades and debian packages that depend on ldap libraries
What would be the best way to deal with non debian sources:
a) openldap installs in /usr/local/[bin|lib|include|..etc] by default,
so I leave it there (then it would not be in the way of possible
future debian package). Then, make symbolic links from
/usr/local/lib/* and /usr/local/include/* to proper debian locations.
Then, make three dummy packages with equivs that provide same things
that debian ldap packages provide (slapd, tools, ldap libraries) so
other ldap dependant packages work. I am especially concerned with
ldap shared libraries, and whether symbolic links to proper locations
is all that it takes to make other dependant packages install and
work.
b) install openldap in /usr/local/..., but install debian ldap
libraries so other packages that are depending on them would install
or work
