Hello Ralf,

True. The 2.3.X based builts of the slapcat tool were included for migrating from SLE10 to SLE11 (which already containted a 2.4 release). So I am not quite sure why that is still there. IMO it would be ok to remove that part from the packages now. (Note, I might be missing something as I am not currently actively working on the packages)
Though having that semiautomatic migration was a specific requirement for SLE11 back then.
Note that even the upstream package disabled SLE_11 builds and it does not work IIRC because of missing krb5-mini:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/network:ldap/openldap2
In my package the builds for SLE_12 seems to work. But I can't test them since I don't have a SLE_12 machine.
=> So there's no point to maintain this 2.3.x cruft (except compat libldap 2.3.x for legacy binary software).
Yeah. The compat libldap is a bit different. That probably has to stay in some way (at least for SLE).
But who is going to maintain that? Likely not me because I can't test at all.
So how to proceed from here? Could someone please start a new compat-libldap-2.3 package herein? Yeah, that might be one solution. But I'd like to get Peter's or Howard's input on this. I put them on CC in case they are not subscribed here. I am not even sure if the compat libraries are still needed for SLE12. After all it's now almost 8 years after the 2.4 branch saw its first "stable" release.
ping... @Peter and Howard: When could this be decided? Which information do you need? Ciao, Michael.
