Bug#772004: RFS: openldap/2.4.40-3.1 NMU -- smooth upgrade for partial replicas

[Ferenc Wágner <wferi@niif.hu>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "openldap"

  Package name    : openldap
  Version         : 2.4.40-3.1
  Upstream Author : The OpenLDAP Project
  URL             : http://www.openldap.org/
  License         : OpenLDAP Public License
  Section         : net

It builds those binary packages:

  ldap-utils - OpenLDAP utilities
  libldap-2.4-2 - OpenLDAP libraries
  libldap-2.4-2-dbg - Debugging information for OpenLDAP libraries
  libldap2-dev - OpenLDAP development libraries
  slapd - OpenLDAP server (slapd)
  slapd-dbg  - Debugging information for the OpenLDAP server (slapd)
  slapd-smbk5pwd - Keeps Samba and Kerberos passwords in sync within slapd.

To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:
  http://mentors.debian.net/package/openldap

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
  dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/o/openldap/openldap_2.4.40-3.1.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

  openldap (2.4.40-3.1) unstable; urgency=medium
  .
    * Non-maintainer upload.
    * Disable schema checking for reloading the dumped data during upgrades,
      to avoid interrupting the upgrade procedure of partial replicas.
      (Closes: #614569).

Though technically it's an NMU, please don't delay the upload too much, as
the unblock pre-approval expires on Monday the 8th of December (#771962).
The issue and the various options for fixing it have been discussed on the
BTS, and this seems like the best solution for now.

Regards,
  Ferenc Wágner
