Comment 22 for bug 442498

Just to get a feel for the state here, is there currently any work done at all for this slapd-dit package?

Why is this marked as "Won't fix"? Is Ubuntu planning a new LTS release with no LDAP? That'll go over well. Has anyone in canonocal mgmt even seen this? Or is it a nasty little surprise they'll get from the enterprisey first reviewer?

I'm trying to plan for a development platform that was going to be 10.4 based, but needs ldap first out.
Is there a workaround that can be used with pbuilder based chroots? All the hacks I've seen so far require that one have slapd already running on the target machine. What if one is building an inert filesystem for NFS boot ?
How are we supposed to get ldap installed and initialized with no debconf support to prime the database?
Yes there are no docs on how to do this but I would argue strongly against this being a doc issue. This is plain incomplete. This move should have waited until the slapd-dit package was complete.
Can this be rolled back until it's ready?

The current state of slapd makes 10.4 unusable for us.

Has anyone tried building a previous ldap source drop on 10.4?

What's the last known working slapd package version?

I might give the slapd downgrade option a shot before giving up and going over to Debian. They even have dom0 kernels that are less than 2 years old...
