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. |
