[1] I'd really like to understand this joke of Debian packaging
alpha code as
OpenLDAP 2.0 is still supposed to be ! The latest released OpenLDAP is 1.2.3
Note that this _is_ also in the alpha version of the Debian
Distribution. The Debian maintainer is taking a bet that OpenLDAP 2.0
will be stable by the time Debian is. The Debian XEmacs maintainer is
much more conservative which means that Debian's XEmacs versions are
typically on the older side.
People who want to live on the bleeding edge with their distributions
typically seem want it for all their software too. Time to dig out
Frans van Dorselaer's hilarious satire about running an alpha grade
windows program under (still alpha) Wine and a development kernel both
compiled with a bleeding edge pgcc.
and people (except developers of course) should really stick to that.
Remember that with true free software there is no true distinction
between developers and users, it more a gradual thing. Sometimes this
also a disadvantage.
Still Michael should file a bug report about the incompatible change.
