I had submitted the port with packagename openldap and version 2.1.x but there was some discussion with the committers that policy was changing and the new scheme was now preferred. Of course I would prefer changing back but this will break dependent ports once again. If we change back I would very much like this to stay and not be changed back again. Perhaps this should be documented in the Makefiles. I would think that the maintainers of dependent ports would not bee too happy to change the openldap dependencies every couple of months. > - bump portrevision > > Differences between net/openldap20 and net/openldap22: openldap22 is still alpha and openldap21 is the currently preferred version. openldap20 although still in use is EOL and should be depreciated. Even if openldap22 could currently be ok we should not induce openldap newbies to go with the lastest and greatest alpha code that could break any time. Remeber the problems with the berkeley db backend and with threads in early openldap2.1 releases. Thinks can break from one day to another and rebuilding all your dependencies to go back can be quite stressing ...
