[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#809753: abook: please use ldif functions from libldap

[Ryan Tandy]

Source: abook
Version: 0.6.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

abook's ldif.c and ldif.h contain code apparently copied from an old 
version of U-Mich LDAP.

Since OpenLDAP 2.4.26, ldif.h is installed as a public header, and ldif 
functions are available to users of libldap.

OpenLDAP also derives from U-Mich LDAP, so the code is very similar 
(although some names have changed).

Please consider removing the embedded ldif.c and using libldap directly.
