consolidated into the Operation structure. All reply parameters
are consolidated into the new SlapReply structure. Most operations
now have identical call signatures... Changes are not #ifdef'd,
revert to -r NO_SLAP_OP_BLOCKS if necessary to back out.
Changed AttributeDescription.{ad_cname,ad_lang} to struct berval everywhere
Deleted ad_free() everywhere
Added ad_mutex to init.c
The AttributeDescriptions are in a linked list hanging off of the
corresponding AttributeType.
- librewrite, for string rewriting; it may be used in back-ldap
by configuring with '--enable-rewrite'. It must be used in
back-meta. There's a text file, 'libraries/librewrite/RATIONALE',
that explains the usage and the features. More comprehensive
documentation will follow.
- enhancements of back-ldap (ITS#989,ITS#998,ITS#1002,ITS#1054 and ITS#1137)
including dn rewriting, a fix to group acl matching and so
- back-meta: a new backend that proxies a set of remote servers
by spawning queries. It uses portions of back-ldap and the rewrite
capabilities of librewrite. It can be compiled by configuring
with `--enable-ldap --enable-rewrite --enable-meta'.
There's a text file, 'servers/slapd/back-meta/Documentation', that
describes the main features and config statements.
Note: someone (Kurt?) should run 'autoconf' and commit 'configure' as
my autoconf version must be different: my configures contain a number
of differences and I didn't feel comfortable in adding them :)
