rudder-inventory-ldap package: we don't need no more to specify version for BerkeleyDB on supported Debian-like OS
Added by Nicolas PERRON over 12 years ago.
Updated over 9 years ago.
Description
Until now, we specified libdb versions to install on supported OS because of incompatibility between berkeleyDB 4.3 and the version of OpenLDAP we are using.
It seems that this no more needed for Debian or Ubuntu and we should use "libdb-dev" instead of "libdb4.6-dev | libdb4.7-dev | libdb4.8-dev"

Actually, this is not quite that simple. Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04 contain both libdb4.8 and libdb5.1, so when we depend on libdb, they default to installing libdb5.1.
However, OpenLDAP 2.4.23 (the version we use) doesn't support version 5.x. Current versions (ie, 2.4.30) do.
So we have two options here:
- Keep OpenLDAP 2.4.23 and revert to the previous dependencies
- Update OpenLDAP to 2.4.30
I'm in favour of the second option, because many many bugs have been fixed, and 2.4.23 is now almost two years old and it's a one line change for us. Our usage of OpenLDAP is simple, so we shouldn't hit any untested scenarios. However, this might be considered a bit close to release date for such a change, so before implemeting I'm asking a second opinion - what do you think about this?
I'm always keen on testing new things, and we will have to update one day or another. It is probably the right time to do it when it fixes bugs in the process !
Plus, you are the most experienced OpenLDAP user/developer here so I trust your experience.
I guess it would be for the best, the number of bugfix is quite impressiv
However, it will requiere extensive tests
I agree with Matthieu, we will have to update one day or another and this is good pretext to do so.
Thanks for your feedback. I'll do the update, see #2445.
