[Pkg-openldap-devel] Suggestion about replication tests for openldap.

[José Ildefonso Camargo Tolosa]

Hi!

I was just backporting openldap 2.4.11 from Lenny to Etch (as an exercise, and for doing some testing), and I was looking at the tests, I can see that you: create and modify entries, but you don't delete (or move, ie, copy + delete) entries on the directory.  I'm having some weird replication problems (related to power outages, and intermittent links), and most of them has occurred on delete-related operations, I'm using syncrepl-persist.  Anyway, I still don't have and *exact* procedure for reproducing the problem, so I won't elaborate on it.  Anyway, my 2.4 backport is for testing purposes, just to see if the problem goes away with it.  

So, I think you should include delete operations on the tests.

Thanks for maintaining this package!  I use it a lot.

Sincerely,

Ildefonso Camargo
