Hi List, |
2 |
|
3 |
first of, I am no dev, but I was really wondering, why ldap is a default |
4 |
useflag in the 2008.0 desktop profile, maybe someone could enlighten me? |
5 |
I am especially wondering, why would the average desktop user want LDAP |
6 |
but not samba, for CIFS etc. ? |
7 |
|
8 |
I guess, the ways, of the devs are somewhat mysterious, so, okay, let's |
9 |
stick stick with the LDAP useflag, no biggy. |
10 |
|
11 |
What I particularly wonder about: LDAP is a default use flag (in |
12 |
desktop). Now, openssh got an LDAP useflag, but for ages all ebuilds |
13 |
drop out, saying one should mask 'em, since ldap doesn't work with the |
14 |
particular version. What I really don't understand: If the feature is |
15 |
broken (which I don't know, but assume due to the ebuild message), why |
16 |
is it, that the flag did not get removed? Is it typical policy to keep |
17 |
useflags for broken features? |
18 |
|
19 |
Please don't get me wrong, all I am looking for is some enlightenment in |
20 |
this case ... |
21 |
|
22 |
With best Regards |

P.S.: If I am just stupid or ignorant and missed out on something, |
27 |
please tell me so. |
