Package: openldap2.3
Followup-For: Bug #447224
Hi,
There's one more typo still in the Debconf templates (slapd.templates).
Of the two excerpts below the first one recommends BDB as database
backend and the latter one HDB.
Regards,
Esko Arajärvi
Template: slapd/migrate_ldbm_to_bdb
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Change backend type from LDBM to BDB?
The LDBM backend type has serious stability problems and has been
deprecated by OpenLDAP as of 2.2. It is no longer supported by the
OpenLDAP packages. BDB is the recommended database backend.
.
When the BDB backend is used, it must be configured properly. For
more information, see /usr/share/doc/slapd/README.DB_CONFIG.gz.
.
If you enable this option, an attempt will be made to update the
configuration to use BDB instead of LDBM and convert the databases.
If you do not enable this option, the upgrade will be aborted.
Template: slapd/backend
Type: select
Choices: BDB, HDB
Default: HDB
_Description: Database backend to use:
The HDB backend is recommended. HDB and BDB use similar storage formats,
but HDB adds support for subtree renames. Both support the same
configuration options.
.
In either case, you should review the resulting database configuration
for your needs. See /usr/share/doc/slapd/README.DB_CONFIG.gz for more
details.
