Dear port maintainers,
OpenLDAP 2.0 is EOL and not any longer supported by the
OpenLDAP Project. The port is marked DEPRECATED and will
be removed from the ports tree May, 1st.
If you just have
USE_OPENLDAP=yes
you'll get the default OpenLDAP version from bsd.port.mk,
which could be changed by users in make.conf(5).
The following ports have a (maybe optional) dependance on
OpenLDAP 2.0, which may cause problems after removal of the port:
blaz at si.FreeBSD.org
- net-mgmt/nagios-plugins
chris at shagged.org
- mail/tpop3d
dinoex at FreeBSD.org
- dns/bind9-dlz
hadara at bsd.ee
- security/opensc-esteid
hetzelsw at westbend.net
- security/cyrus-sasl
jylefort at brutele.be
- mail/sylpheed-gtk2
mi at aldan.algebra.com
- devel/tcl-neo
mjoyner at hq.dyns.cx
- net/yptransitd
nakaji at jp.FreeBSD.org
- japanese/samba
nectar at FreeBSD.ORG
- security/heimdal
ports at FreeBSD.org
- net-mgmt/netsaint-plugins
- net/samba
tremere at cainites.net
- dns/powerdns
vivek at khera.org
- mail/postfix-current
Be aware that a direct dependance on OpenLDAP 2.1 is normally
not the right solution. Especially when using prebuild packages,
users depend on ports to have coherent defaults. OpenLDAP 2.2
is maturing, and will sooner or later be the standard OpenLDAP
port.
Furthermore, the following ports have an optional dependance
on port net/openldap12, which is marked FORBIDDEN and will be
removed April, 18th:
hetzelsw at westbend.net
- security/cyrus-sasl
knu at FreeBSD.org
- net/ruby-ldap
ports at FreeBSD.org
- news/nntpcache
- www/mod_php3
thomas at cuivre.fr.eu.org
- net/proxy-suite
vivek at khera.org
- mail/postfix-current
Please prepare your ports timely, so that the removal of the
OpenLDAP ports does not break them.
Thanks
Oliver
