I had a look in building it for packman myself to keep ldap-account-manager working. But I found out, that it is usually build as a subpackage of php5 itself, and it seems to be difficult to build it standalone.

I can place it in the server:php:extensions repository later

Packman usually doesn't build on top of BS repositories. But at least users of ldap-account-manager can avoid errors from the updater.

...

Is there a specific reason for dropping it?

Yes, libmhash is no longer mantained in upstream as well the PHP extension has been deprecated no longer mantained, replacement is php5-hash.

In the context of openSUSE we have to give security support for two years and in the case of SLE, for 5 or more years, as you can possible understand, we cannot ship something that we know will not be "supportable" in the foreasable future, that will just cause too much pain.

I will contact the developer of ldap-account-manager and give him the hint he should switch to the hash module.

So resolving this bug as WONTFIX would be OK. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
