Hi
I am trying to upgrde out openldap ver 2.3 to the lastest version 2.4, howevre there is no rpm avaibale for 2.4 so i decide to create my own for centOS flavour 5.2
It's probably worth mentioning that the openldap version shipped with centos is very heavily linked throughout the distribution. If you upgrade the ldap version, you may have to provide older libraries for backwards compatibility (as the base package does) or you'll have to rebuild everything built against openldap against your new version.
On a side note (and while I understand it's just a spec file) you can't really take the openldap package and strip the openldap license from it unless their license allows this (I don't believe it does). You'd have to add your commercial bits in a separate package which plugs into the openldap framework.
